I don’t use live bait as I skip behind the cables and under the docks. You can figure you have the first cove all to yourself after sunrise, after that, you are fishing covered water. I came into a cove today, boat was pulling out of the RV bank I was wanting to fish. Wind was gusting 30 mph so this was a spot out of the wind. Spoke to the a boat of 3 guys and they said to they caught 1 on that bank. I came in behind them and caught 8 to finish our limits. Everyone fishes different CK

We fish off the rocks on the dam of a lake. It's safe to use minnnows here. I see guys throwing plastic and they spend alot of energy catching nothing. It''s 8 miles from home so we can be there early and get our favorite spot. Life ain't supposed to be easy.

New eyes were easy but he could put a new tip on to replace a broken one and you could hardly even notice a difference in the action. My brother-in-law was a goofball and constantly breaking rods, slamming car door and trunk lids on them. I talked him into Ugly Stiks just for the warranty which they eventually denied saying he was "negligent" with his rods. Anyhow, that's how I know the tackle shop guy was good at repairs. Maybe find somebody like that? Eh...wot?
