fishinwrench Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 I hit it hard today and ended with 8 keepers and several close shorts. I tried a bunch of stuff but nothing seems to get the bites as well as a lipless crank. The noise and vibration gets them following it, then when I pause and let it drop that's when one hammers it. I really thought they were getting tired of seeing the dang thing....but apparently not. I alternated between 3 different colors and 1/4 and 1/2oz. baits and they stayed with it all afternoon even under bluebird sky's. Water is starting to clear up pretty quick now and I bet they are gonna bail out of the area soon. I might get one more day out of them. Maybe it'll rain on turkey day and muddy back up again. I have to share the spot with these guys BilletHead and MOsmallies 2
Norm M Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 how about nose rigging those flukes on a circle hook ? let the hook and the fish do the work for you, just keep a tight line and reel after the slam . plan b use a bite indicator like you would when fly fishing, doesn't add weight, easy to see and rig . try something just a little different, a metal blade bait . use a spoon , change out the treble for a single siwash hook and rig a twister tail on the hook . wacky rig a Berkley heavy weight worm on a circle hook, let the hook work for you. rig a jig/plastic on a dropper line on a top water or wake bait . small split shot in front of a rapala jointed minnow swimbait or swim jig what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends
dtrs5kprs Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Bomber Long A would be worth a shot. Or a floating rogue with some dots.
fishinwrench Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 The water cleared up, they dropped the lake a foot, and they (bass) are gone from there now. I had fun while it lasted. If they show up there again in the future, which I'm sure they will, I'll try more of these suggestions. Thanks.

Norm M Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Mitch It doesn't look like it . I have a bait shop about 45 minutes north of me that had some the last time I was in there . not surprised every Berkley product I really like gets discontinued, the old power pulse worm is another they did away with . another lure that i'll be looking for in any bait shop I wander in to . what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends

joeD Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Spro McStick makes a shallow running jerkbait 1-3 feet. I use Spro trout fishing on the White. Great baits that run true. Easy to cast and retrieve. I heart them truly.
Norm M Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Mitch Do you need me to send some samples your way ? If so pm your address . what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends
