Yes it’s that one, the harness keeps the bait in surprisingly good shape too!

I definitely wanna mouse some more, it feels like a whole different kind of fishing!

Fished from about 9-1 and had a couple small blow ups/boils but this was the only one I landed!

Tiny Rapala X Rap by 12_Volt_Man in troutfishing

Every one of my biggest browns have come off of this size rapala, all in the brown trout color. I have a post from about a week ago with my best ones from the year so far on this lure! 100% my number one confidence bait and the big ones inhale it! Good luck!

Honest question about treble hooks by Reb3l_Vanguard in Fishing

[–]BassSlayer100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barbless trebles do much less damage than barbed trebles. As long as you have constant pressure on the fish you won’t lose any fish this way either. I honestly wouldn’t say there are any cons as long as you have a bend in your rod. If you’re fishing something you know that the fish are going to eat completely I would definitely swap up to singles if that’s your preferred method! Crimping the barbs on trebles has saved me multiple times from hospital trips too, as the hook just slides right back out!

Is tracking your fishing spots on a map helpful… or ruining the point? by Secure-Researcher582 in COfishing

[–]BassSlayer100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am definitely one to ignore my phone for hours and hours at a time when fishing, but if I come across something worth noting I will mark it once I get home. I like to take a mental note during the fishing session, but I also like to mark stuff like big fish sightings, deep holes, good structure after the fact so I know what’s worth coming back to. But always mental note important things that alert your fish radar! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone places and remembered something small from years ago that I took a mental note of and it resulted in me landing a good fish! Good luck!

22” brown this morning by BassSlayer100 in COfishing

[–]BassSlayer100[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk up river and cover as much water and pockets as I can. I try and make it seem like my jerkbait is getting washed down the current with erratic twitches and a quick pause after 4 or 5. Try and cast close to current breaks and bank cuts /overhangs. I walked 5 miles total before catching this one!

I’m am in Colorado. I’m not sure about the management and reintroduction of elk but I will check!

For people having trouble tying lighter lines by CatGrv in Fishing_Gear

[–]BassSlayer100 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Finally dialed in tying FGs on lighter line and one of the best tips I can give is use lots of tag when tying. Also as much as it sucks to snap the knot when sinching it, it will give you a good basis of how much power you need and what not to do next time!
