The dahlberg diving frog is an unreal frog bait worth buying! Tman you should look into bass nation events here in NY. Co-angling is a very inexpensive way to learn a ton about bass fishing. You get paired with someone in the boater division and then spend the day on their boat...the bass opens are the same deal but you fish 2 days on different boats but not so cheap...Cody and Anthony were both paired with elite series pros last open on Oneida...Cody finished 69 out of 200ish I think. You get plenty of 70-80 mph boat rides too...some on not so nice conditions

Seaguar premier 15lb, which at 011 inches is just under 10lb diameter and I'd go 20lb if I were gonna be dragging structure and that line is just over 10lb dia at 015

Has to be someone on here with good stuff in your area

Harnesses are quite easy to tie and good components are easy to find. Most of the pretied stuff I see at Dicks isn't really suitable for anywhere where there are decent walleye...the hooks and line are suspect at a minimum. The first cheap ones I ever used here on Otisco got tore up and shredded with each fish. They worked ok at best for 1 fish. Tie or buy with a quality flourocarbon like Seaguar or bloodrun and wide gap walleye hooks from vmc or the like...as for used or old harnesses...worse yet... I make them up when I plan on using them and tear them down over the winter or whenever damaged and save the hooks, clevis, and blades. Good walleye are too hard to come by to use anything but a quality flouro leader. If you were closer I'd tie you a couple for nothing...

Good stuff!

Nice work! Great bass there for sure. I had 2 groups out for bass here on Otisco last few days and we scored just about everywhere we went. Our best big fish pattern was off shore floating docks with water over 10 feet deep....ones with hard bottoms had smallies and those with weeds and soft bottom had largies. Weightless dead sticked senkos for the largies and kitechs on a drop shot for smallies. Give it a try next time here...
