What size hook does it take to load a 2 pound cricket??!!! Nice picture Vic

you have to use a big hook..... maybe size 000000004                 lolritf

Make use of state fishery and dnr websites and their phone numbers. Buy quality equipment and tackle. 

Slip float, size 8 cricket hook on a drop-shot rig, worms, fish near weeds.  Grasshoppers are killer!

two rods,different but similar lures,get hit from one,pick up other and see if it takes,adjust!

How about: "Beg my wife to let me fish more.."

It;s ll

ike unto the Nike add which says, " JUST FISH IT "  LOL or is that," just do it"

2lb line,bb shot,big live cricket,fish,fish,fish

SLOW DOWN THE PRESENTATION AND RELAX AND TRY ALL DEPTHS!

Don't get in a rut and use the same things change up, experiment at different depths. Have fun and learn.

Start deep, work to the shallows. Big baits catch big fish! Check line often and have fun!

Keep your bait in the water.They will come.
