Great post Al....low and slow works when they are inactive...but my favorite is covering water with a big topwater fly in the summertime...Here's one from last Tuesday...measured it at 17.5"...took out of the tiny little shade pocket in front of the willow weed patch in the top left...not the greatest looking spot, but it payed off. Lots of action from panfish too. Cheers.

Al, ... Well, I'm slowly gathering the lures that you've recommenced. Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, poppers, sub walkers, and several of BPS's version of the "Sammy".

I know, I know. Everybody is going to tell me that I need to use the real "Sammy". ... But, until, I catch a smallie on the BPS version, I'm not pulling the trigger on a $16 lure. With my luck/skill or lack of it, I'd leave it hanging in a tree, before I caught anything.

Now, I just need the time and opportunity to try them out. I did get a few minutes to practice the "WTD" on a city lake in Jeff., last trip, After several casts, I got BPS lure, to walk the dog better than anything I've tried before. So, I've got a little confidence going into my first outing with them.

I'll give a full report after I get out and try them for real. ... wader
