EC1 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Since barely anyone posts reports anymore, let's just all do a 2012 summary. Summary for my year so far... Blade baits are golden during the coldwater months Can't seem to find any spring crappie fishing pictures.... Got a few here and there. Nothing special. Fished for walleye once as well.. Had a few decent fish but no PB's Got better at fishing for lakers and whities Jigging for softwater lakers is very similar to ice fishing for them Figured out how to use a flipping jig(Never got anything over 3 with them though ) Flipped all summer but got my biggest largemouth on a jerkbait in the early fall... Fished the OBF this year, and embarassed myself big time. The dropshot is my #1 Technique.... USE IT MORE. Found the effectiveness of a football jig Fall smallies are my absolute favourite thing to target after September. Here's a PB at 6+. Put a few of non fishing friends onto a few days of decent fishing. Goals for 2013 - Catch a 5+ Largie - Get better at jigs - Barely did any fall crappie fishing for 2012... Maybe get a few trips in for next year - Learn to fish crankbaits and swimbaits better Edited November 20, 2012 by EC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Great year indeed. I'm especially envious of your summer-time whities.
