What Should I Throw?
Tell me the lake and the conditions and I'll tell you what I'd tie on — the technique, the lure, colors, depth and retrieve, and why. It's Bryan's decision-making, drawn from the knowledge base.

From Bryan's logbook
In spring on Marble Falls I've seen best-five limits weigh over 30 pounds - a lot of big fish for a lake this small and this quiet.
Also good: Spinnerbait, Deep Cranking, Football Jig.
