Giant! Congrats man!

I own 3 of the 4 you ar looking at. The Finesse Jig Rod and Head Turner are my most used rods too. They are awesome!!! The Amistad is a great stick too. I mainly use it for flipping/pitching around heavy cover/docks and bigger jigs 5/8 oz and up. It would work well for the 130 plopper I think and you could probably throw an A-Rig on it as well. You won't be disappointed with Falcon.

Heading to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, AL area in Mid March. Would like to try my hand fishing the surf on the beach. I really don’t want to deal with live/fresh bait. Wanting to throw lures only. What can I expect that time of year? What lures would be effective? What kind of species should I expect/target. I’d love to get into a bull red if possible but I honestly don’t care what I catch. Just looking for some Tackle/Bait suggestions and how to approach surf fishing. I appreciate any info you guys are able to share!

That stringer pic is awesome! Nice job!

As you know, cold muddy water is not ideal and can be downright brutal to fish. You figured them out and I'm sure you were around the smallies too. Typically they will move from the hole they were holding in to the nearest spot out of the heavy current. Behind big rock outcroppings, big logs. Basically anything that creates an eddy. They won't move far, and the high water can really stack them up. If you catch one, there should be a bunch.

I typically throw 1/32 oz tube jig under a cork. I'm usually fishing it in water under 60 degrees and they seem to like the slower fall. I will throw a 1/16 oz sometimes as well. For crappie, throw whatever color you have most confidence in and if they won't eat it keep switching colors or styles of baits. When corking, I throwing a black and chartreuse tube quite a bit.

Great info... Lawyer is in 2nd after 2 days... Mark Tucker took the lead. Looks like they are going to be fishing for a 3rd day instead of golf. Love following this event!

Brought a couple buddies down to the lake for the weekend (Tan-Tar-A Area). Neither of these guys fish much so my goal was to just get them bit. We targeted Crappie, Bass, and Whites just throwing easy chuck and wind baits.... And we were successful catching all three. Crappie were caught shooting swim platforms on secondary points. Caught my biggest of the year.... A thick 13.5" Black! Bass were spread out. Best one came off the front corner of an isolated dock over deep water. Whites came on rocky mainlake banks with whatever wind we could find on them. Everyone caught a few fish so I was happy! Crappie - BG Baby Shad on a 1/16 oz Jakked Baits Blankenship Shooter Head.... That head is the DEAL for shooting docks! Bass - Underspin with Keithech and Red Eye Shad Whites - Red Eye Shad and Roostertail
