Hey all, Phantom talked me into fishing in a tournament this saturday on MIL. He even found me a yak to borrow! This will be my first tournament and really the first time I've fished for bass on open water (used to bank fishing). I know the fundamentals of bass fishing but trout has always been my forte. Here's what I'm thinking for initial setup, let me know if I'm doing anything stupid. Again this is just initial setups, I can always switch it up later.
6'6" Med. Action Caster w/ 10 lb. line- Some sort of crank, jerk bait maybe?
I have an Abu 5601 c4 with 30lb. braid I use in the surf I could swap onto this rod instead of the abu silver max its got currently but I'm not really sure which to use.
6'6" med. action caster w/ 12 lb. line- heavier t-rig or c-rig with a lizard/creature to pull through beds?
6'6" med. spinning combo w/ 8 lb. line for flipping wacky rigged senko's to cover (my confidence setup for bass)
5'6" med. spinner w/ 12 lb. (not sure what to put on here)
6'0" med. (fast action) with 6 lb. flouro dropshotting OR shakey head (this is my finesse combo)
I also have another 6' med/light rod, and some ultra light rods but I feel like those are out of place.
Any suggestions you have are appreciated. Weather will be partly cloudy, 81~ degrees, 5mph winds. We're fishing shallower water in Gar Creek on MIL.
Thanks!
