In the South in particular, they have more red crawfish, but I also think prespawn fish just tend to be hungrier, move up shallow, and can see that red really well in that shallow dirty water
And, basically, just try to, you know, present my bait to as many fish as possible throughout the day and hopefully run into a big one. Day 3 was a big one for Dyar
The days are getting longer, but that doesnt matter as much as water temperature, and it can be from one extreme to the other
The bulldog drag coming in at 25 pounds will pull in a foul-hooked log if you want it to
If youre not sure which way your reel winds, crank the handle a few times
