I am so pumped for the 2025 MLF season. Can't wait to get started.
On the market for a new fishing kayak primarily for fishing rivers. Any recommendation on makes and models. I'll also take recommendations on preferred companies to purchase from! Willing to fly anywhere to pick up if I find the right kayak 😃
Thank you in advance SUF FAM!
Fellas -Just joined the community today. I live in NC and Fish mostly lakes near me. Mackintosh, Graham Mebane, Mayo, Hyco, Jordan etc. If any of you non boaters ever want to get out on the water hit me up. I also fish in a local club here in Burlington NC and we are always looking for new members. Boaters and COs. Here to learn, help when I can, and support our fishing failures and successes.
Take the time to watch Randy and Brian talk about trailers in the latest live.
I have always been a soft plastics guy, but I joined this school to open my mind with spinners, chatters, cranks. I hit the lake this morning throwing my nemesis, the Chatterbait, that everyone so loves and I can’t catch crap with. I paired it with rapala crushcity mayor. Looks beautiful and matched the environment somewhat. Tip learned in the video. Had a few hits and landed a decent one with the three reels, drop retrive. Learning the bite will take some time, esp where it feels like your hung when they hit it. At least that’s how it was today.
What’s your experience with the chatterbait? Any helpful tips?
Today new lesson: I flipped the paddle tail over, upside down, when threading on. Game changing!
Fall fishing today. They seemed to like the bladed baits today in less that 6 feet of water near drop offs. I forced a smile when my buddy caught a bigger fish. 😀
Warm water plus cold air created cool fog. I believe one of my local lakes is beginning to turnover. It was crystal clear last weekend, but now it's becoming a bit cloudy but no smell. The water temperature still seems somewhat warm, in the low to mid-50s at the surface. Fishing was challenging for me today; I only managed to catch one. It is hard for me to tell when my lake has started the turnover. Does anyone else know for sure when their lake has?
What was Randy’s rule for how long he fished a area?
How many different ways does Randy rig his jig trailer?
What’s is Randy’s favorite Lake for fishing a jig?
