Have fun, keep learning, introduce someone to the sport
buy any kind of sonar, no matter what kind of rod, reel, line, or jig you have; you can't catch fish if you're not on top of fish. a sonar makes the job of finding them vastly easier.
new season, new best tip!avoid the "magic lure" mindset. this isn't to say you shouldn't have favorite lures, just that you shouldn't think that one lure alone will catch fish. personally, i love fishing the Northland Mud Bug jigs. but i can't be so confident in the Mud Bug that i can't tell myself: "you know, you'd catch more/bigger fish if you switched to this other lure instead"don't be afraid to switch things up! just because you're catching fish doesn't mean that you're using the most effective technique, and just because the same technique worked this time last year or this time yesterday does not mean that it'll work today.
