Cape Fair 7/3

[cheesemaster]

Launched at 5:00am right on the dot.  The top water buzzbait really took off at 5:30 until the rain was so heavy I think the fish had a hard time hearing it and couldn't see it very well because of all the commotion on top from the heavy rain.

I put down the buzzbait and lit them up with a 1.5KVD.  I had 6 keepers that topped out at 2.5 or 3 lbs. I caught no less than 40 bass. Once the rain let up and started to clear - it was over.  Off the water at 11:00. Everything was shallow, right on the bank.  It was fun!!! 

The Frog Toggs worked great!! They get hot though.

A good tip with the buzzbait that a great friend and mentor taught me....take a pair of pliers and pinch the rivet to keep it from spinning on the wire. Then hold the bait out the window while driving down the highway for a while allowing the blade to spin. It gets the metal blade seated against the rivet making a high pitched squeal. The high pitch makes a huge difference.

Splitg2, I used to tie my buzz baits to the radio antenna on the way to the lake. Pinch the rivet just like you said. Makes a different sound for sure. Good old school trick.
