I like the fact that Brian along with the others I communicate with on here, that there is a sincerity I can sense among everyone! That is so great! These days... there's alot of nonsense people try and jam down your ear tubes! I have a built in radar for that stuff and run from it. I get none of that from the SUF crowd. This is a great group to be apart of, I am thankful.

I don't think I got much of anything figured out when it comes to colors... I can't figure out where to use or have any success with your real dark blue and black colors. The reds and mud bug colors get bit every once in a great while where I fish. The best ones I get bit on and can be consistent with are shad color baits... whites, whites chartreuse, pearls. That's my ticket I believe, I can make those work. That spot remover scheme zman has, I like that one! I try and buy baits and plastics to mimick that. AND!! If anyone can tell me how neon pink get things done, well IDK I guess, lol.. I have had more success with bright pinks than the black and blues.

One day Imma going to catch me one of those!  Looks like a dandy spot.

This was a good question, I got a couple crankbaits that do that and just thought something was wrong with them and I don't use them. Going to dig those back out and try that.

This was a good one, love learning this stuff!  You make it fun :)

I honestly never viewed my mapping in my mind like this, I really like these examples you showed.  This really helped me, thanks.

I want to avoid hitting the like button for this one... ouch

Yes 

Honestly its really going to be what works for you.  I had to fiddle around and try numerous things to see what I like and get rid of the things that really didn't work for me.  What I got now, works for me.  The absolute best thing that was the game changer in my situation... my Motorguide Xi3 w/GPS built for the kayaks.  I can't say it enough of what a great product that is!  I want to say I agree with Mack also.  Yak Attack products are the way to go.  They have a rod holder and a paddle holder called the doubleheader that are well worth the money.  Brian had mentioned Gene Jensen, he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the kayak side of things.  He's got a handful of good kayak setup videos that I have taken some good pointers from when I set up my rig.  Especially when you start putting electronic stuff on the platform.  YouTube will be a great tool for you!

Now the fun part begins, Accessories!
