Cocky Local Fisherman “Doesn’t Appreciate” Me Fishing THIS Tournament…

[@curtisjacobson7338]

I would like to see a tournament with no fish locaters sonar for seeing the lake bottom,an old fashion tournament with no electric but the motor ,see if they have the fishing skills like our fathers and grandfather's did, also no prefishing the lake, just pull-up the day of the tournament.

Night fishing is my jam! Ploppers, jointed swimbaits and any other noisy mofos are tons of fun. Lots of fish completely miss the baits but it's a dang good time

[@ericschulze5641]

My favorite also except the bugs you may already know unlike day fishing with lures, DO NOT try to set the hook when you hear the strike, gently tighten your line be prepared to set the hook almost like live bait, if you feel anything. If not just leave the lure alone for a couple minutes then a gentle twitch, wait again, the fish is usually right under your lure looking up at it, from underneath at night the surface looks like chrome & your lure is black no matter what color it is so remember don't try to set the hook unless you feel resistance, like fishing live bait

[@gt_fishing]

I run ionic lithium and love them. But higher voltage doesn't give you a cleaner or better images on livescope. The blackbox regulates the voltage so it doesnt matter if you are running 12v to 32volts. The only time when you can see a improvement with running higher voltage is if your wiring is to small, And that is because higher voltage draws less amps.

[@fixtradingconsulting2935]
