I spent a lot of time thinking about this yesterday as I was puttering around in the basement. I remembered a post that Bassmaster had made about sticking to some of the basics and decided that was what I would do. Start with what I know and try to improve on that. Pick a few things to try to do new and do them well.

So, I know certain poppers in certain colors and sizes work for me where I fish, as do the smaller danny plugs and some of the swimmers. So, do them first. Then decide on a few other things. Eel plugs, the jointed swimmers, some big poppers, bigger dannies. Oh yeah, needles. Got to do them this year...

Basic colors, get the weight and action right and work on presentation and reading the water.

Sounds like a plan.... Good to go...
