Big thanks for this forum. A wealth of knowledge skills and comradery shared to all. I have been able to step my game easily and considerably also the engineering and design of Mr Gene handiwork.
A good outing but not like the videos. HAHA
FIRST TIME. Spider rigging and using foot control trolling motor, mostly casting and vertical jigging. I plan on making some changes with rigging. I was using 4 pounds test going with 8 Wrapped egg weight going to swivel. Broke loop knots going to improve clinch knot. Net sitting vertical.
I gained a lot of confidence Spider rigging in new lake. Caught a keeper 3 by catch and missed 4 keepers. One was 2 pounds +. All beside the boat.
To complete my day as a final finale Iin the wind I hung up on a mound and had to break off lines and cut but saved 2 of 8 jigs. Chinese fire drill. Deptfinderbehind me. Kept turning around to see graph/chirp. No broken rods and a good day
I ALWAYS WEAR MY PFD
PLEASE WEAR YOURS
Open for all suggestions

The best I can come up with is to try what you read here with the gear you already have. Maybe find another mount for the finder so you can move it in front of you. That's a big plus. I've tried almost every technique and some just don't appeal to me. I don't put them aside entirely but just don't use them as much. Find what keeps the fire inside you burning hot and follow that. I like the thump and using tiny equipment but it isn't always practical. As you move through this learning curve you will find your own technique and some of what you have tried will fall away, as it did for me and many others. Enjoy the time you get as sometimes even that will change. Good luck, have fun and keep us posted. You teach us as you have been taught. Tight lines.......
