Moswimb8slinger Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Has anyone had any luck with 6 inch plus baits on TRL? Since late October, I've been catching 3-5 lbs SM, LM and spots on Strike King "King Kong"(6") in gizzard shad, Spro BBZ1 jr.(6") In rainbow trout(slow sink) and lavender shad(floater) and the River2Sea S-waver168 (6 3/4") in "party crasher" kind of a shad color, every week. I'll post pics later from my laptop
bluebasser86 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I don't get to fish Table Rock nearly as often as I'd like but the 7 and 9 inch MS Slammers will catch fish for sure. Not surprised the S waver is catching you fish, they have great action that really draws fish. I wish I would have had some of my Bull Shads last time I was there to toss them around a little bit. Never have got brave enough to toss any 8" Hudds down there but I'm sure they'd get bit eventually.
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 here's the S-waver bass from 1/12, had some followers yesterday but no takers. The biggest one last weekend went 21.25 inches and just over 4lbs (skinny fish) and the others were just over 3lbs.
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Here's some of the Strike King King Kong fish, includes a 22inch smallie, 19.5 kentucky, missed several green bass (either LM or K's) over 5lbs
dtrs5kprs Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 That is well done indeed. Like to throw swimmers myself, but would not have gone to them so early in the year.
Quillback Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Very nice fish! Yeah I would not have thought of throwing them this early either.
Members troller Posted January 21, 2014 Members Posted January 21, 2014 Must be throwing it from shore by the looks of it. All hooked yet with 6" of water or trees behind him?
abkeenan Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Looks like I need to give my Jackal Mickey another try.

My grandfather had a bass boat parked in his dock on a lake front house in Beardsley and yet fished from the bank 80% of the time out in front of the house....he did very well just bank fishing.
Jacob W Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I've fished a lot from the bank throughout my life and one thing I can tell you is that it makes you fish harder just because you don't have the luxury of running all over the lake. It allows you to slow down and catch fish a lot of people would miss or not bother fishing for.
