Big thanks to Cody Gray for taking some time to talk to the group today via conference call. I know not everyone was able to see the video feed on the conference call so Cody shared some photos of some of the baits he likes for early season smallmouth action at Alum Creek. Also he shared some info on baits he like for mid-summer largemouths. Thanks again Cody for sharing some of your knowledge with the kids.

Cody also shared some knots he likes to tie including a Braid to Flourocarbon knot. Below is a video demonstrating that knot.
