I have heard you can catch good numbers in front of the Arch fishing from the bank.

Great fish.. Congrats.... Who paints your baits if you don't mind me asking?

I like the LC pointer 78, best all around color I have found is American shad. As the water warms a bit I start throwing un weighted rogues in bright colors with a coachdog pattern.

Sure do love my lunker lure buzzbaits, and another one I like is the head knocker by Crock O Gator.

Great topic. I fish some of the more popular streams and rivers, popular by means of floaters. Most of the water that I prefer to fish is your basic rock with current on one side with some depth and mud/sand with some brush on the other side. I catch more numbers from the current/rock side but most of my bigger fish ( I consider anything 15" and over my bigger fish ) come from the shallow muddy side. Most of the time the fish are loners and are holding on a isolated piece of cover. 9 times out of 10 they will be sitting right in the shade. So to answer your question I guess it depends on the time of day. Mornings/overcast I prefer to fish the tail end of runs with rocks. Midday/evenings shallow wood/grass.

Nice catch, Glad your getting them spots out of there.

Bet that was a blast. We have caught quite a few on slow moving topwaters. In ponds a lot of times they will hit a small jig drifting under a small float.

Are you talking about the blue one? I have one and its been used but still works just fine. Where are you located?
