I assume you’re fishing Watauga??? Focus on points, offshore humps, and laydowns right now. Little jig and a Ned rig will be good for smallmouth. Worm, lizard, or creature bait to rigged for largemouth. Either should work for spots. Also, crank a big plug like a 6xd or a dd22

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, don’t crank much my a$$

I’ve always used a 5/0 on 10” power worms with very few missed fish. I think I’m gonna try out the 7/0 to see how it does.

My buddy Charlie Parker is getting ready to trade a 90 in at Watson’s on a 150. It’s a 4 stroke merc probably 2012 or so. Don’t know what they’re gonna want for it, but it should be over there in the next couple weeks.

Yes, with the weights you mentioned you fish it like a shakey Head. With the lighter weights 1/10, 1/20 you fish it like a tightline.

I use 1-1 1/2 oz depending on the thickness of where I’m punching. I’ve got a halo xxxh rod that’s a Randall Tharpe design that I use for it.

Not necessarily winter, but I’m ready for fall!!!

I had Travis Shelley build me a rod for deep cranking. I am in the reaction bite crowd when it comes to reel speed. I use a 6.3:1 Tatula and crank it till my shoulder burns. I have used a 7.3:1 also and had good success.

Went Sunday, biting pretty good. No frog action though.

Where you fishing tonight?

Ok, no doubt this technique catches tons of fish. But I have a simple question that I have yet to find a simple answer to. How the 🤬 do you rig the darn thing straight consistently? I bet I have to thread that 🤬 worm on the he hook 10 times to get it even remotely straight.

Hey guys, been thinking about trying to do some crappie Fishing with the kiddos just to get them on some fish and have a tasty meal to boot. Anyone have any tips/tricks/pointers as to where to start or anything. I’ve NEVER crappie fished and have no idea where to even start.

Considering the transducer for the regular panoptix is like 1500, I’d hate to see what this thing is gonna run.
