Caught my first Trout today on a floating Carolina rig with a powerboat mouse tail.

It’s a small pond that stock in the winter months.

I tried rooster tails for about 3 evenings after work for about a hour each trip, caught 2 bass and a crappie.

Happy Thanksgiving Y’all.

Stopped in at Bass Pro HQ. If you’re wondering what the lights look like here!

Had about 45 minutes to fish under a spillway in Okc on the Oklahoma river. Rigged up a Keithtech 3inch minnow on a Ned rig. I pinched off the first two inches of the minnow and caught my first river bass. Straight retrieve. It was on the ultralight rod 4lb test super fun fight.

Bank:Pond: Hook set question

I worked this stretch of the bank for about and hour had three fish on the line landed two.

In regards to hook sets are there different hook sets for different lures/techniques?

I saw a video of Bobby Barracks in the app say that he likes to reel a load into the rod and sweep it to set the hook on a chatterbait. I’ve been using this method. But I’m curious if there are different philosophies on hook sets and what you all believe is the most effective?
