I tried to reply to your email but it bounced for some reason.

You have a good selection there. If you could get your hands on a Rago Live Trout, that would be a plus, but I know they are bucks.

Never underestimate the Slammer and always keep your hooks sharp.

The other thing to keep in mind is that all lakes are different. What works really well for me may not work so well for you. I haven't seen your lakes, so I have no idea how they will fish and what baits will work well. When I was younger I used to read articles from various big bass specialist guys and I would go and try do duplicate what they were saying. Most times I didn't have any luck. Even a few years ago I was still baffled why certain things that they said worked really well never worked at all for me. In the last two years I've had a chance to really travel around the state a lot and fish from Clear Lake to Otay and dozens of lakes in between. Suddenly things came into perspective about why certain things worked in some places and not in others.

You guys will be able to leverage a certain amount of know how from the forum, but you'll also have to write your own story on what works for you in the lakes where you fish. It's much more important to fish baits to match conditions than it is to use something just because it worked for another guy on another lake :)
