season opener

I have to pack my gear for next weekend. I like the thoughts of using the
traditional rapala. I remember vaguely on one of my outings i used it and the
bass were hitting it well. I may upgrade the hooks. I like catching fish on
crankbaits versus soft plastics. Lately ive seen a lot of bass hugging the
shoreline. I think this vision is a bit of a precurssor of what will happen.
I'll lobe either a soft plastic or a crankbait close to shore and it will be
hit and all hell will break loose. I may mosey up to walmart to stock up on
some extra gear. I'll keep you posted. thanks
