gettin bit

I fished Maui in 2017. I found most of the shoreline very rocky so any time you touched bottom that was the end of the lure you were throwing. The best lure for me was a 1/2 oz to 1 oz Kastmaster. Also a curly tailed grub on a jig head worked well. The locals call fishing from the bank with rods smaller than surf rods “whipping”. I took a 3 piece 7’ med/heavy travel rod with 20lb braid on a 3,000 size reel. If I went back I would take the same set up. You should be able to catch something at the nearest beach access to where you are staying. Good lick

I have fly fished for them on the Paraná River in Argentina. That river is large and off color we did best on dark colored flies. If the river you plan on fishing is also off color I would take dark baits that put off some thump.

Thanks for the new website and the chance at new gear!

Any reason is a good reason to get on the water to me. Most weekends work for me and a week day is possible if a bite is hot or a trout stocking is scheduled. I have had my eye on a lake that is about 40 miles south of Lexington.

I just moved outside of Lexington back in July and have yet to throw a big bait in Kentucky! Currently I am boat-less but hope to change that in the coming year. I think I will pick up a kayak to get me on the water here soon. From talking to other anglers in the area it's sounds like there are a few guys that like to throw swimbaits in the central Kentucky area.

I have had a lot of luck getting Hudds out of riprap from the bank. I wouldn't be worried about losing baits it will happen but not near as much as u would think. Throwing them on mono is the key to getting your bait back. The stretch in the mono provides a spring action when you load your rod once snagged and then quickly release the tension forcing the bait away from you and out of the snag. You could try a lure retriever from the bank but from my exsperience it doesn't work well. If you can afford a Tranx you can afford to lose some Hudds. Remember to post pics of those Lakers!

The muskie guys that I know that fish big baits for big muskies run 130lb. flourocarbon leaders. Some guys may even run heavier. Fish at your risk.

What is that new bait of yours?

11 mile and Spinney reservoirs. they are next to each other and hold pike and would be your best bet for throwing swimbaits. Yes there are bass to be caught in colorado but not worth it in my opinion if you are coming from Texas.
