Grub Bite Yet?

[REDSOXWSCHAMP]

are you refering to the berkley havoc beat shad or the grass pig?

[mjk86]

Yeah I passed on the BPS ones too cuz they are the same price.....id just assume the keitechs....STLCARDINALSWSCHAMP......they are the havoc beat shad. Although the grass pig looks nice too I didnt pick up any.

[REDSOXWSCHAMP]

don't be jealous cause the cards lost to the red sox AGAIN!!!!!!!!. i have used the grass pigs, they are pretty good, although i wish they made them in a 4in. version. i just picked up some of the beat shad(academy had a sale on them) fishing a tournament on the ROCK this sunday gonna give them a shot.

Thought the grub bite was nearly year round. Not aways the hottest bait but as consistent as they come. I will always have one on.

Grub bite can be very fickle. It was on a couple of weeks ago till the water colored up and then it went away. We fished Shell Knob today and had 45 fish on a 6 hr. trip. Ours came early on a jerkbait. It was just really one fish after the other for about an hour. The fish were NOT EVEYWHERE. You got on a good bank and you better stay there.

If you found them you had better stay with them. Talked to the Berkley Boys early today and they were catching them at the Knob really good on totally different stuff than I was on.

Could not get bit on the grub at all or the small swimmer. We went to the Chompers 5/16 wobble head with a Chompers Spider Craw or a Yamamoto Fat Baby Craw both baits in Green Pumpkin and Game on. I fished transitions with gravel and some chunk. Fished only 6 locations in 6 hrs. Caught fish on 3 of them. All on the gravel. Bill Berkley said they were catching them on 45 degree heavy chunk, and we just could not get bit on that kind of stuff.

That grub bite is just getting ready. 60 is great grub water. Best I had today was 55.6 Had one nice walleye today and he was supper. That will just about cover my yearly fish kill total. I will have some crappie that a good buddy has for me and maybe a small mess of small male white bass, but the rest gets to swim.

Did throw the wart some, but nothing on it. That water has really cleared up. At Baxter it is 15' visibility at Shell Knob, probably 8' depending on the side the wind is blowing onto.

Good Luck

Good report as usual Mr.Bill.

I'm going to Shell Knob this weekend. Might I ask what brand and color of stick bait were you using. I have awful luck fishing those things

[Champ188]

Kenny, I can tell you from years of trial and error that you will not hurt yourself one bit to tie on a Spro McStick 110 in the blue bandit color. It's as consistent as they come.

[Kenny Gann]

Thanks Champ, that's what I got tied on. I will let you know. Once again thanks to all you fishin guys for your help and post's on this site, it has helped me tremendously.

[Bill Babler]

Perfect.
