jdmidwest Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Hellgrammites are clingers until they are rolled loose and float free. Shaky head may be the trick or finesse rigged on light jig hook. Roll some rocks around and see how they act naturally. Then rig accordingly. I don't think they are swimmers in the wild Hog Wally 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Gavin Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Looks like a great trip. Headed down Thursday. Long skinny baits like that always seem to work well on the Black. Any topwater fish?

Yep I caught some nice ones on a MB Quick Walker and Paul just lit up some fish all day long on a Whopper Plopper, which I was very jealous of as he chucked a custom bait caster setup I was drooling over. When we talked to others they weren’t catching doo doo though. We fished in Tornadic Super Cells on Tuesday, fishing was epic that day to be honest. you know the drill there Gavin Johnsfolly 1

They have another very good bait IMO Johnsfolly 1

evilcatfish Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Happy to see it was a successful trip! Also glad to see a picture of that Hellgrammite, looks like it will be a fun one
ollie Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I still have a few that Case plastic made. Haven't found any like those in a long time. This might be as close as I have seen.
