I have been away from regular bass fishing for longer than I would like to admit. I am just starting to get back into it and all these "micro guides" and neon vegetable sticks got me realizing just how fast the market changes.

I realize it's the person and the knowledge holding the reel that makes the fisherman but I was never that good anyway so I was hoping for a little input on what techniques and tackle are working this time of year. I am fishing out of a john boat so close to shore on points, rocks and docks is where I stay.

Much appreciated.

Same here, just slow down and from what i've seen this past month do what you did back then. It still works. Gotta love old school.

Products change all the time.Fishing is like riding a bike,you never forget.Use what feels comfortable for you,and fits your budget.Just go have fun!Thats what really matters.
