5/15 Report

[slab slinger]

Put in at Mutton this morning around 7am. Took a bud that wanted to go bassin. Figured i could get him on some fish. Started out mid lake coves and caught alot of fish just no keeps. Went to main lake cuts and points and again lots of shorts. Only managed 1 keeper bass in 3.5hrs. Im not a bass guy anymore and it showed. Haha. Didn't really have a pattern to start with so just winged it and fished. He was happy getting all the bites and figuring out what they feel like. Got some bend in his new rods too. A brand new bass fisherman and a now crappie guy just having fun getting bit.

Started crappie fishing around 11am and did ok. After an hour of figuring them out finally got a pattern together. Fished in 15FOW with Bobby G Stroller and 8thoz head. I had pumpkin/chart and he had blue thunder and caught fish on both. Jig bite kinda dried up around 1pm so trolled flicks in 25FOW Ended up with 20 keeps all together. All but 2 were egg carrying females.

Walleye...had 2 keeper eyes one 21" and the other 17". Big one was on a football jig while bass fishing. The other was on a crankbait trolling.

Sorry didn't take any pics. Sent the fish home with my buddy.

Haha. Yes he was happy to get some meat! He's gonna invite me and fam over for the fry. So it's really a sweet deal on my end. Prob have to bring another bag of fillets to add my bunch can put away the fish. Haha

Yes...It great to see the smile on there face catching fish. Bet he buys a boat soon. Was really asking about them today. I think he's hooked like us now. Haha.

Those strollers are a good looking bait but I can't get bit on them. Glad you got them to work

I think we're heading back up maybe tuesday, monday is looking kinda hot for me.

Were you primarily fishing football jigs for the bass?

[slab slinger]

Yes my bud was. Thats all he threw and caught alot of fish. I used a T-rigged senko and caught alot of fish also.

That was only my second trip using the strollers. I like the bait and the action but i think its a better spawn bait for cast and retreave. Another OAF member turned me onto them i like the bait but it's almost time to vertical jig now. Turned onto them late but still caught fish on them the last 2 weeks. Will be going back to spear tails, and tube baits when they get back on the wood. I ran the stroller on a road runner head.

The strollers like almost every other swimming bait has no movement on the fall. And very little at a slow retrieve. I like the slabalicous from strike king. A bit softer plastic. The absolute best are the 2" swing impact from keitech. If you run em on a 64th oz jig the tail goes crazy in the fall. In fact the tail wags even when the bait is just sitting still. They are way fragile but they work wgen nothing else will. No collared jigs and loctite superglue will get you multiple fish per bait. If the tail falls off fish them like a baby shad. They work as well.
