It's time! Some of the best quality bite of the year should occur in the next 6 weeks or so. Prepping for that. Jig, grub, spoon, swim bait, jerk bait & crank bait will be a good mix to work with. Good luck!

Correction: For Fishing, Small game hunting, trout stamp & migratory bird permits you will need to puchase “Conservation Partner - Lifetime Permit”.

Lifetime also includes migratory bird permit.

No, a bunch = 12-14. Not like some of the collections I’ve seen on here. But I fish mine.

Know this has been discussed many times here, but didn’t find info in a quick search. Appreciate best suggestions. Time to prep for WW bite. Have bunch of pre-Rapala ones to update. Thanks.

with paint removed or if repainted, how can you distinguish between “pre” or new?

So many good colors! Look them over. GP Pro Blue is a solid pick for one, or GP Pro Blue 2, and French Pearl early & late in the day.

So good to see bigger lm being caught. Hope you pointed her down lake a bit to areas I more often frequent. Good one! Fish a few different jerkbaits but sure like me some McSticks.

But you recovered......right?

Or could have removed it from the bass and reattached it to a big gar.

Worked fine here, thanks! Good stuff.

Why that 'eye's head is bigger than yours! And its length is from your knees to near top of head. My guess is 30#. Never caught one near that big. Seriously, great fish.

Nice spotted bass!

The format of counting 5 largest fish daily should give a contestant who is way down the leader board a better opportunity to more quickly move up with a few big fish. And thought I had heard that mentioned as the method to be used. Puts more emphasis on quality vs. quantity. Either way of looks to be a move in the right direction

So, this is like a contest? How many guesses do we get on describing rods & reels. And, if we get any part of the answers correct, say the rod or reel or bait tied on the line, do we win that prize?
