I was inspired today to spend a few hours this morning down at the SD River thanks to fellow SDFish member
@tomnilll.I have not been fishing much at all and needed a nice kick in the rear which
@tomnilll has provided with some recent posts and nice bass he has landed. Not much to say, but landed 2 bass out of 3 bites as the water is still pretty darn muddy. Still very glad to be out fishing and tossing lines again....Yay! It's funny as the river is kryptonite to
@Mcfish ....ha ha
Thanks
@tomnilll and tight lines.

Fishing a small body of water can be tough, but very rewarding also as you know.
That’s why we go back to accept the challenge again.
Tight lines

Great job always curious whether you ever get skunked?
Can you explain your set up on the second picture? Is it glass beads? I understand the concept but yours looks a little different than what I’m used to seeing.
Again, great job

I been over to Murray for an hour to two hours in the mornings about 6 times since the beginning of February and
only throwing swimbaits
(many big ones)from shore only. I have been skunked all those times. The beads are on a Tokyo rig that I rig up myself. I use different size weights and usually black or red beads to make a little sound while I am flipping it into cover.
@Dfishin hit it one the head. Vito, many guys used beads with brass weights years ago on Carolina rigs for the same purpose to make a little clicking sound.

Probably the most stylish and accomplished angler on the river.
