Bomber Fat Free Shad All Different Diving Depths
The Spotted Bass love these on the Alabama River. Throw it right beyond a wad of schooling Spots reel it through and hold on. Grab some of these in all different diving depths.
Strike King Pro Model Crankbait All Diving Depths
Find You some shallow water and start throwing this crankbait to catch Largemouth Bass. Grab some of these in different diving depths also. We have a lot of crawfish down this way and the Bass love them.
Pumpkin Chartreuse 6 Inch Lizard
My favorite go to bait when the Bass are on the bed or off. I have caught Bass on these year around on the Alabama River and local ponds. The Largemouth love them on the banks up in Buzzards Roost. Watch out for the Wasp nests in the bushes growing on top of the Cyprus stumps.
Strike King Deep Diving Crank Bait
Three words “Match The Hatch” When the baby Bream are swimming is when it is time to throw this one.
Fishing Tackle Boxes
I use all different makes of these tackle boxes. I am usually replacing mine every other year.
Hummingbird Helix 7 Fish Finder
Oooh I love My Helix 7 and that’s all I got to say about that.
Abu Garcia Black Max Rod and Reel Combo
I have 4 of these. They usually last a couple of years and they do not backlash bad with less experienced users. I also use these for Bass fishing or Catfishing on the Alabama River at Millers Ferry, Alabama
Minnow Bucket
I always get the cheap ones. Well you know why, they are usually flying out the back of the boat or the truck it just depends on where I leave it.
Stren Fishing Line
I guess I am old school, I still use regular Stren Fishing Line for both Bass and Catfishing.
Offset Worm Hook
I like this brand hook, but it really depends on what is on sale for me. There are a lot of good hooks out there.
Bullet Weights
This is another item I normally buy what I can find on sale.
Hollow Body Frog Lure
Throw this amphibious look a like early in the morning when the birds are still chirping and you will pull one of those big female Bass in.
Strike King Spinner Bait KVD
I am not a big Spinner Bait fan but I do throw them in the winter months.
Bass Fishing Jig With Guard
Find you some old docks and drop one of these in the water and wait for those Largemouth Bass to attack it.
Sinker Weights For Catfishing
These are the sizes of weights I use for my tight line catfishing rig.
Noodle Catfishing Jugs
Get you about 12 of these cut the boat engine off and float down the river while you pull those monster Blue and Yellow Cats in. My Kids loved going jugging because there was always some action.
Catfishing Circle Hooks
I love the circle hooks for Catfishing. Once they are hooked they will not be letting go. Grab what’s on sale I do.
Digital Fish Scale
This is necessary if you need to weigh that monster so you can brag to all your friends at work. I’m not hating.
Fishing Tool Kit
I have this set and it has come in handy a lot.
Disposable Lighter
Always keep one of these in case you stay at the river to long and your wife tells you not to come home. Or if that 1965 Chrysler gives up the ghost and you are stuck out on the river.
Filet Knife
Like the item above it does come in handy in different situations.
Cast Net For Bait Fish
This is my favorite item. I have taught both my kids and my wife how to throw a cast net. I prefer one from 5 to 7 feet. We always have bait but they ain’t always biting.
