I snagged a few bass on some chatterbait. Also caught my first whiper I think. I didn't realize this lake had them

What is it about senkos? I swear over 70% of my catches in the last 5 years have been T. Rigged senkos. A dumb greenish stick looking thing must just piss bass off that they'll bite it anytime

They stock a few small ponds with trout over in KC. Brings out tons of folks so I tend to avoid. How big is lake Henry?

I've been foaming at the mouth to get out and fish. Finally looks like some spring ish weather here in KC this week, probably going to come down with a bad case of gently caress-its Thurs or Fri and hit the water.

I bought a spinning reel after using spincasters my whole life and I feel like everyone is playing a prank on me by saying how great they are. If I even look at it wrong all the line pops off and manages to get tangled around. It came with the line already on so anytime it loses tension it just goes sproing in little tangled circles. Would putting fresh line on it help?

As others said, it's probably old line that has memory. Fresh line SHOULD help. However, be sure to look at a few videos to make sure you're not respooling backwards. I recently tried out all fluro on my spinner and must have put it on backwards cause it would spring off as soon as I opened the bail. I replaced it with braid and have no issues.

Finally got my first fish of the year after being skunked the last 5 times out:



A dink but the meatball was happy to have one
