Temps are suppose to get into the upper 70's low 80's this weekend with plenty of sun and barely any wind, perfect conditions to use spinners and spoons in my opinion. But is there a particular snap that i could use to interchange the lures without tying a knot each time i want to change to something else? Does it have to be a swivel snap since i am fishing from the shore? What type of know would work best? The rapala knot?
Plan on using my blue fox vibrax 1/4oz and rattlin' spoons 7/8oz
When I fish a spinner, I always use a snap swivel. That's the only time I don't tie direct.
Ok, i was worried that he swivel would affect the way the spinner moved through the water. I know it effects crankbaits negatively.
Hopefully the 7/8oz spoon is a typo, if not ya might want to downsize a bit for panfish.
Need just about 3/4 oz less....then again, he might not wanna play with little fish. ;)Quote:

Every once in a while if I see big pods of shad I will add a spoon into my spread when longlining. If I do it is 1/8oz to match the jig weight I am fishing with to maintain depth the same. I think ya might want to downsize both your spinners and spoons some to maybe 1/8oz 1/16oz 1/32oz or even 1/64oz. But maybe ya'll got some big corn fed slabs up there if so carry on. But that is just my opinion as well and if it works for ya don't mind me.
Good advice. Thumbs UpQuote:

I plan to go fishing tomorrow, 5-6-11. The plant I work in is on 4 day weeks right now (supply disruptions caused by the Japan earthquake/tsunami), so I figure I may as well make the best of it. I have learned that there is a city owned lake not far from where I work, so I might go there for a while. Just going to have a fun, lazy day!Thumbs Up
I was originally going to go Sunday, but since its Mother's day, I'll skip it and go Friday and Saturday before that cold front moves through Nebraska next week.
If I were to take the kids fishing Sunday afternoon, my wife would think of that as a wonderful mothers day present.
But my son has something he has to do, so that's not going to be an option.
(But I went by myself today.)
Didn't catch any panfish Friday or Saturday, but i have crossed one lake off my list of possible fishing holes. Least with artificial baits. Maybe live bait will work better out there. But i did catch a few smallmouth bass out at Walnut Creek, the pictures are in the photo thread forum. All in all, good day, looking forward to early next week.
