Good read brandon, one note though is that bruce mentions to stay away from the bright green sardines. The ones that are light in color and almost neon. I have had my best luck fishing those baits. They are usually my go toos if I see one swimming around? So who knows, I think I will just stick to what works for me!

That was news to me, too. But as I went 0 for three days flylining at the Hurricane Bank on the November trip, I think I'll give it a try. I'll be back at the Bank on the June Heat trip. Gearing up and retooling for that one is a process.

I used to pick the "blondes" and did ok with them, then one day at the bank I was fishing the "blondes" and as I grabbed what I thought was a good bait Jesus on the tank says "trying one of the blondies huh?" going with the flow I just repyied "trying to mix it up" I hadn't been bit all day so the next bait I grab a nice dark one fresh from the slammer and bam I'm on. From that point on I try to make a note of the size bait and the look of it everytime, even try to make a note of the bait characteristics of the hot angler and try to match that.

There is nothing wrong with using what works for you but when things are slow maybe its time to mix it up a bit.

Yep. Fishin', it's what he does. Great communicator, too.

If he wrote I book, I'd buy it. He ought to do that.
