My opinion on river fishing :best done from the bank.
You will never get me onto a moving body of water without a second source of "get home" power. No kicker?, no river fishing. Just today there's a news story where they're dragging the river for some poor sap fisherman who fell overboard and drowned. The Ohio is dangerous. Ironically, that is why I'm on this website. The local chapter of Bassmasters refuses to fish Indiana Lakes. They are based in Evansville, IN, yet they fish Kentucky Lakes and the Ohio River, almost exclusively. All because they resent paying the $20 DNR Lake Launch fee. Can you believe that? They'd rather spend the extra $500 of gas a year driving out of their way to save that $20. Smart.

99 bass so far this year (62 from boat, 37 from dock/shore):
44% - 7" Yamasenko (Wacky-rigged -- 34 using watermelon w/ red flake; 10 using black w/ lg blue flake)I just started using a Pop-R for the first time ever a few weeks ago and it's been an amazing producer for me already -- 3 of my 4 SM on it, two of which were 3lb 11oz and 3lb 12oz. |

40% soft plastics
25% jig 20% crank bait 5% shakey head 8% spinnerbait 2% buzz bait the funny thing is, is that i havnt caught a lot of fish on a spinnerbait and it is my favorite thing to throw. on the other hand a jig is my least favorite but it has produced a ton of big fish. this year. soft plastics are always my go to when i cant get a bite. so that is the reason for such big numbers of fish caught on soft plastics. |

I don't keep a running total of number of bass I have caught this year, but I would say 150-200 range. 80% on a c-rig with a baby brush hog, 15% on a crankbait and 5% on a jig. By the way that last 5 percent on a jig has occured on my last three trips. My jig percentage will increase before the end of the year, I think.

Just the type of condescending, self congratulatory, egotistical and vain post I would expect from myself, bryce. Good job, you ivory tower, ball point pen crunching engineer. Now go find some way to needlessly complicate something mechanical.
