How do we feel about fishing this in tight laydowns? Throw out a wakey on slack line until it starts to soak? Anyone else use a weedless before?

Ended up 46th out of 92 for my first BFL. Very happy with my outcome. Sad to see the co angler go. Hopefully a suitable replacement will be found.

Anyone here experimented with a jika/tokyo rig before? Looks like a very interesting presentation for a craw or worm.

I had another question regarding angler etiquette.

What happens if a boater switches to what the co angler is fishing. Should the co angler out of respect switch their lure so they’re not throwing 2 of the same at one time?

Took my nephew out for his first time fishing on a boat/kayak. Said he always liked to fish, but couldn’t get to the spots he wanted. Fishing must come naturally to him because I took him where ever he wanted and he caught these. 3 fish for 12 lbs. Not a bad bag for a first timer.

How do you retrieve your frog when dragging on vegetation? Do yoy pause to illicit a strike, or one smooth motion?

Spinnerbait on a laydown worked just as advertised on this app.

Bass fishing 2046

Forgot the code, but was having too much fun with the finesse. Neko rig was the only really effective way yesterday

I feel like if I explain the context, it will be better to understand what I am asking.

I broke down a lake before my league night. I had never fished it before and I rigged everything for what I expected to be and felt confident in the night before. As it turned out I was correct on gaging what I needed. However, I felt a little overwhelmed with how I was fishing. I really felt like I wasn’t “downloading” the information as effectively or efficiently as I could. As the week went by, I felt like I needed to start with a baseline to gauge what I would need to correct. Return speed, depth and plotting my points of attack.

So my question is do you all have a plan/baseline when you’re fishing? What does something like that look like. What are the things that are most important to you, that start out with that stay consistent and adjust over the period of time?

Obviously technique will dictate a lot.
