I know, I know. Thought we’d find a few better ones though.

Thanks and no it doesn't! I wish that stuff happened more often but if you spend enough time on the water then you can be thankful when it does happen.

Exactly!

Ha! Not my fault. Still looks like a week of ok weather before it starts getting questionable. Thanks for all the support!

Thank you!

Thanks Mark!

It was. Why didn’t I find that first thing in the morning! That would have been amazing.

Thank you!

I thought the sensitivity was good for the price. I don’t do a lot of light, finesse stuff like drop shot or ned rigs but it felt at least as sensitive as other $300-$400 rods I’ve used. I did a couple casting comparisons and didn’t see a difference between them.

I’ll have to take a look at the new avids. I used to like the one I had but wasn’t a huge fan of the power hump on the foregrip. I also prefer cork grips to any other material.

I wish I could catch smallies more consistently around here. I have tried a gold trap but didn’t stand out as being any better than the colors I usual throw.

Not that Portage Lake. This one is south of Vicksburg. Glad you like the videos. Good luck on Eagle. I grew up fishing there and crooked lake near it.

Someday…

I’ve already caught some good fish with them. Hope to see you out there again soon

Ha, if nothing more than to get them out of the lake,

Ha, that may be why!

Crazy I know!

I Would keep going back until It ran dry!!

Thanks! Yes, I love the big fish and no pressure this time of year. I try it occasionally deep in the summertime but I haven’t spent enough time with it to get a consistent bite that way. I’m slowly forcing myself to fish deeper and deeper but still don’t fish deeper than about 20’

It’s been pretty crazy! Hoping for another week or two of big fish biting.

I certainly am not a chatterbait expert. What I’ve been doing is fishing a 3/8 oz as close to the bottom as I can and add a rod twitch and pause a few times during the retrieve. I’m fishing along a break line from 5-20’ with some weeds and and lots of bait. I thing the weeds and bait have been the most important thing honestly.

@ what color have you had the most success with?

I usually throw a white or Shad color but I had good luck on a green or bluegill color recently. I haven’t used them enough to nail down a favorite here

Thanks Timm!!

Ha, you don’t have too but I never complain about the lakes being completely empty in November

Thanks! It was fun.

I keep wanting to go to the river. Hopefully I’ll get there soon.

Thanks man! I know my luck will run out soon but I hope not.

Thanks Doug! Stick with it any hopefully you’ll have the same success this fall. Let me know when you do!

Oh Yeah Ill keep at it until the snow flies! Good Luck to you!

It’s been tough the few times I have fished it but there are lots of different places to explore trying to find them which I like.

Ha, it’s easy to get in really shallow water in all the lakes. I have fished Christiana the least of them all. Somehow the other two feel better to me.

I’d say.

Ha! Yes he is!

I bet that would be good but I never use swim jigs so it's probably a good place to learn it. I just always chose the spinnerbait for the flash.

I don’t have any baitcasters because I prefer using spinning rods. Just personal preference really.

I think most jerkbaits are pretty good and pretty similar but the ones I use the most are the Rapala Shadow Raps, both shallow and deep and the Megabass Vision 110 jr and jr+1. I've tried the new Rapala Mavrik 110 and liked it as well. For colors I tend to favor the ghost minnow or pro blue style. Something translucent but with a little flash and maybe a little chartreuse on the bottom. I also have a lot of confidence in the purpledescent color of the Shadow Raps.

@@geezersbassin2567 Thanks! Most of mine are shadow raps but I dont have anything translucent. I will try that out for sure. Do you any opinions about jerk baits with the ball bearings compared to none?

@@andrewpherson5406 Usually the ball bearings help with casting distance, add some noise, and help them suspend so I use that kind most often.

Yes, that one will do it for me! But I’d be ok with a second one that big before winter.

Oh Yeah! Me too!

Thanks! It’s a 3/8 oz that I’ve been using lately.

Thanks for the tip. I don’t change colors enough probably. Almost never really.

No I haven’t. Have you? If so do you like them?

@@geezersbassin2567 I recently saw one in the store, but I decided not to buy it though because it was a little expensive compared to the normal chatter bait, I would assume it performs similar to the googan squad click bait which has a deep thumping wobble with an adjustable depth

Thanks! I’ve had a few and just didn’t feel comfortable using them. Since I just fish for fun I decided to just use what I enjoy fishing with instead of feeling pressured to learn them. I’m sure there is benefits to them that I am missing but for now that doesn’t bother me.

@@geezersbassin2567 makes sense to me I usually prefer open face because of the drag noise but I have an easier time making cast under logs, trees, brush or skipping under docks and casting heavier baits not to forget football jigs or punching through weeds

I agree!! I’ve been throwing a 3/8 oz

I rarely eat pb & j with milk so I’ll check myself into the mental hospital in the morning. Probably don’t want to hear I use 8 lb fluoro either.

That jerk and quick pause has triggered some of my big bites lately. I use that with lots of baits like traps, spinnerbaits and crankbaits

I think it was around 57.

@@geezersbassin2567nice going !!!

Not sure exact depth but between 15-20'

Thanks!

I thought it was going to be even bigger when I got it out of the net.

Basically 10-15' is the zone I'm targeting give or take a few feet depending

I’m hoping the next couple weeks are great. That’s a good tuesday night trip. Good luck as well.

Thanks alot! We have to get out as much as possible until the snow flies! Enjoy your videos!
