Me …… getting on a crankbait bite after 3 days of rain on the Potomac River. Slayed them today with over a dozen fish all over 15 inches in two hours of fishing. Biggest one was 18 inches. Used my Barde custom made “ USA 250th Independence edition” rod.

Hey Tyson Balaam, we were taking about Jerkbaits during the round table a couple nights ago. Some inspiration for you.
Jerkbait myths busted. This time on Lake Toho.
“Don’t believe the hype” -Public Enemy
1. Jerkbait is only for cold weather.
2. Must have cloudy weather.
3. Only good on points.
4. Vision 110 or nothing else.
5. Must have a specific cadence prioritizing pauses.
6. Must use a bait caster with light fluorocarbon.
1.a Water temp was 88 degrees
2.a Mostly sunny with bright blue skies
3.a Sitting in a flat in 9 feet of water with scattered hydrilla patches.
4.a Strike King KVD deep diver running at 6 foot. active target verified.
5.a Whap whap whap whap all the way back to the boat.
6.a Shimano Poison Adrena 6’10” spinning rod with Stradic 3000. 15lb braid to 20lb flouro leader.
Results: 1x6lb, 1x3lb, 5x2lb = 15 pound bag in a couple hours with plenty of room to cull.

Good day on the water even with only 1 fish, Blue Cypress is a beautiful lake, The Gators were thick and active today, at one point I had 7 all over 8 ft within casting distance, May explain the lack of fish. Alex Sterling would have had a time for sure. Play a little I spy

Roland and Brian agree, bass aren’t line shy. I’ve moved to 20lb with the grass getting heavier this time of year in Florida. Take whatever context you like. I still use leaders for action, but the size isn’t a visual deterrent for them or me.

Creek fishing in OKC
Working on fishing laydowns from the bank.
This 3 pounder chased the gremlin out of the laydown. Biggest bass I’ve caught in this creek yet.
Noticed that I’m getting more deliberate with my choices of where I’m going to cast while picking the laydowns apart.
