NEW TOY TIME!!!

Welcome to the group Tyson!

Love them docks!!  Darn right! How are them bass setting up on the docks down that way?  You catching them on the ends of them or are they getting in more close to those first few posts off shore?

Sorry to hear about all that, its coming man! Hang in there... I haven't had all that happen to me, but this retreat can't come fast enough, I need a break from the grid too!!

Currently.. St. Croix MOJO Bass 6'4" heavy fast, power pro 50lb or 65lb specta braid in green color. I have two reels, Lews tournament pro and the Lews Pro SP. Both are fantastic in my opinion... and my favorate bait would be a Texas rigged Berkley pit boss or their structure bug. This is darn near the rod and real set up I use for my frogs and certain flippin jigs. I do have the MDJ signature series hex rod that is a great rod as well that I also use.

For this new season, I have 2 new rods I'm gonna try out. I've got rigged up the newer St. CROIX MOJO bass 7'6" heavy, mod fast, and for the really heavy stuff... I did buy, "The GOAT" flipping stick to try out this year. That is Andy Morgan's rod he had done with Favorate. ( MDJ recommended this rod for real heavy cover in a past video on the tube, so... ima going with it cause I just love this technique and use it often! )

Up this way fippin cover is one of my favorite ways to fish in the stuff we have... come around end of May till late in the fall! It's so fun!! I did start late last year experimenting a bit with flippin a Texas rigged 5" or 6" stick bait like a general or some type of straight worm.

Looks so peaceful!

Yeah, we have had a span of some teaser days that got real warm and really melted all the ice we had around this part of the state, but then last Monday the whole state shut down cause of a snow storm, lol... I'm ready for spring and some longer days!!

Happy Birthday 🎉

Slow creepin a chatter! Just enough to feel that blade thump a few times and kill it.  Runner up... a knocker lipless with a steady retrieve back to the bank or a noisy square bill, doing the same thing brining back the chatter.

Glad your back at it man and doing good!!
