well thank you very much. I’m gonna be out there mon and tues. I will let you know how I do

typically I T rig a tube 100% of the time. the action is dynomite! cast let it sink and swim it back. Not reel it back, but swim it back. Find your own groove on that. If you’re in lots of rocks, this set up will surely get hung up over and over so you will have to start swimming it before it hits those rocks. Good luck! Tubes are awesome! Swim jig is the same thing. You gotta swim them. not just cast and reel. Get out there and give em a try. You’ll enjoy it

this is great advice nic. any preference on soft plastics?

I put a new floor in my dad’s aluminum 17′ boat a few years ago. there was a tin with the 6 holes under the wood for each seat. I suppose it helps prevent the bolt and nuts from pulling through if the floor gets saugy and weathered after years and years. the tin is only the size of the base. good luck drifter. hope that helps

not sure red, but the corps of engineers may have a site that depicts pool stages. it’s quite a lake to fish though. so much water

my cuz always does it and finds morrels in the same areas every year. though the size and quality very year to year. that has more to do with the weather though

thanks mike. good luck joe. I’ll be there saturday.

I’ve caught shirts, garbage bags (without puppies), ha ha. a tire, a couple rods, one with a reel. Clam, crayfish, quite a few docks of coarse. A couple alligators down by okeechobee. a seagull picked up my topwater bait once. a rickety old skateboard. lines and lures. that’s all I can recall right now.

A friend of mine and I were on menomin last sunday. It was very windy and quite tough. We went up river with little success. Mostly nortens and white bass. But I bet the bay behind the cemetary will be warmer than any other part of the lake. If it’s calm and sunny… hit the area south of the 94 bridge on the huge sand flat. The bass maybe moving up for pre-spawn good luck!

absolutely! I agree. No matter what you use, you are gonna need to cut and re-tie on that pool. Great fishin though!

over by annandale. do you know the lake?

alot of times guys will shake the morrels over the ground after picking them to release any spores on the mushroom in anticipation of finding morrels there next year
