Thanks everyone! I just can't justify livescope. Too $$$$$. If I was a guide, then yes. I just want to get one with SI. Leaning toward the HB.

OK, I'm gonna go ahead and open a can 'o worms. I am looking to upgrade my sonar. Looking between HB, Garmin and Lowrance. Want a 7-9" screen w/ SI, DI and maps w/contours. Needs to be easy to...

Johnny Guice. Nuff said!

Well, I went Thursday evening and found a few right up on the bank in brush, but they were all small males. Think they have done their thing.

Thanks all! I'll send a report.

Looking to go try it this weekend. Not sure where to start, but going anyways!

Anybody got a report on Lake Bridgeport? Seems the spawn in NTX is late.

Pepto Bismol!

A great day at Lake Fork with guide Johnny Guice! He told me they didn't catch anything the day before (last Thursday), but this day (Friday) we caught them fast as we could pull them...

Ordered me some Ketchn's Carrots and Joe Dirt jigs from PePop. Great man to deal with and he makes some great jigs at a fair price. He also threw in a sample jig of his "Spring Fever" jig.

DANG SK!! Dem some slabs. Good vid man.

Trying to figure out colors out of the gazillion combinations you can use is like trying to crack a combination lock without the combination!!

That cooler has seen a many a crappie! Bam!

Great vid SK! Looking forward to the one on 2D sonar.

Great vid! Wish my dad were still alive. Enjoy your time!

Ketchn, your mailbox is full so I couldn't PM ya. Need some pointers on Bridgeport.

Thanks all! Caught fish on all of them except the blue/white (didn't use it yet).

You know, there is something very gratifying about catching fish on lures you made yourself. I went out Saturday up to Bowie with some of my first hand-tied jigs and caught at least a limit. Only...

Welcome aboard! I fish those two lakes a lot. I like Amon Carter personally. Not too crowded. Lots of timber. Deep and clear, especially on the new side. Free public launch. Good for bass,...

Thanks to all! Yeah, it's clean 'cause I just started! It's already addictive. So many ideas, so little time!

Thought I'd also include a photo of my homemade jig tying station. Made it from scrap lumber.

Well, here are some examples of my first attempts at tying. The chart/black ones on the bottom right were my first two. Still getting the hang of it. The hardest part for me is stacking and...

Bam!! I'm a regular watching your videos. Keep 'em coming. Looking forward to some tips for the fall.

New to tying. What size chenille and thread is best? I have medium size chenille and a very thin thread now. Seems a bit too small.

That is what my worry is as well. Better safe than sorry. I plan to put mine back in the jar. I bought 5-3" PVC spigot plugs from grainger and some 3" couplers to make mine. First time doing...

I just made my own fluid beds out of PVC and use brown paper for the membrane. Is it OK to leave your powder paint in the beds with a cap on it, or do I need to put the powder back in the jars when...

That's what I thought. Didn't think you could just lay them on something. Like that rig. Thanks for the feedback Sailor!

Once dipped and dry, how do you guys bake powder painted jig heads in the oven? Do you have to hang them on some kind of rack, or do you just lay them on a piece of tin foil? Temp and time? Thanks!

Nice catch!

A "fluid bed" is a nice little contraption that allows air to be pushed through powder paint making it like a "fluid". Makes for even coverage of paint. It's fast and easy. Check out SK's youtube...
