Blade Bite Take 3

[Sprint21fter]

Put in at Cow Creek saturday afternoon with the wind rolling a good chop and went point hoping and chunked the spinnerbait through the bushes and caught several good fish with 4 big kentuckies and 1 16inch samllie would have made a respectable stringer. The key was I had plenty of wind and the baitfish were loaded where I was. Caught the bigger fish on the inside of one point inside a 50 yd stretch. Jumped other point with the same wind and would pick off a couple of small fish each point I fished. They are so aggressive that I don't know how far away they were coming from some of the casts that they would tear up my blade and almost jerk the rod out of my hand. If you were bringing it by a bush you be bracing for impact but would get hit until it was almost at the boat. Alot of fun. Caught some smallies on the tube as well after the wind laid down enough in the areas that I fished.

If you want to fight the wind put the nose into the wind and put your trolling motor on high this allows you to slow roll the blade and keep decent boat position. With the wind howling tighten your reel tension so you won't backlash

every cast. If you tune it right you can make long roll casts under the trees through the open lanes. Find places with several points in a close area and start running points. Be ready if you have the blade in the right spot becuase they will jerk the rod out of your hand.

Always good to hear about a blade bite...one trick I like to do is throw a 3/4oz with double #4 blades. This allows me to cast on windy days and I am burning it anyway so size doesn't really matter. Thanks again for the reports and keep firing at em...

I love it when they freight train a blade...nothing like it!

Thanks for the report.
