Plastics are where it's at this time of the year. A slower retrieve and more time in the strike zone is generally better. You can actually even have good luck with jigs under a cork. Bass are still oriented somewhat to shore but not right on it super shallow so if you throw it out there at 3-4 foot deep and let it float near structure and jig it slowly you have a great chance.

Bass are just now starting to bite again down here.

Though I did finally get around to learning open faced reels, and like yourself... I'm not jacking around next year either, except what I mean by that is going much further afield looking for out of the way spots If that means less trips but better fishing when I do go... so be it |

It's a similar setup to all of my serious catfisher friends. They swear by it. |

Baitcasters are all I use. Every now and again I'll use my spinning real.
Didn't catch anything yesterday. Probably my last trip for the year. Water was down to 56 in the main lake, 60 closer to the power plant discharge. I worked spinnerbaits and cranks mainly. I'm trying to expand my lure selection. Worms are next. I've always been mainly a crankbaits and shad softbait kind of guy. |

Parents surprised me with an Abu Garcia c6500 for Christmas too.
Put it on a Rippin Lips 7'5 medium heavy rod. Spring needs to get here. |
