My Bass’s Weekend

[BFScott]

Friday— Pre fishing for Joe Bass on Saturday and Solo Pro on Sunday. Trying to improve on more places holding fish using the buzzbait only. Found 6 main lake spots that were holding fish that I was thinking that would reload with fish while they were roaming in fall transition.

Saturday—- Fishing Joe Bass, finished 10th with 14.37lbs. Had the honor of fishing with my son. He’s in his senior year at Drury College playing basketball. He tossed a spinner bait all day and I threw the buzzbait. Fished from Bolivar Landing to Wheatland area. Just like in my last post. Visible targets covering water and lots of it.

Sunday—- Fishing the Solo Pro, Finished 1st🎉 with 16.46lbs. Fished only the buzzbait all day. I cycled through the 6 places I found on Friday and some of the ones my son and I fished Saturday. Covering lots of water fast but fishing the bait slow.

Good job man!    I watched the Weigh-in on FB live.   Darn fine sack of fish for a day with an Easterly breeze.   👍

What's the buzzbait of choice?  You know I gotta pump you for details. 😊

Hey Wrench, the buzzbait is a custom bait that I have made for 30 years. I was lucky enough to meet two men (John Brownsfield and Rod Oglesby) John  passed years ago. Those two used to beat the pants off everyone. I was a young man with no clue. They took me under their wings and showed me what they were doing. They were making it then and it hasn’t changed much. Only the skirt, you can’t buy the ones we used to use. They showed me how to make the bait. Gave me all their stuff. I’ve never sold any. I’ve probably only gave a dozen or so away in 30 years. I figure it not mine to sell. I’ll pass it on to some young man one of theses days. That’s what they would want me to do.

Right on.    Well is it a noisy squeaky clacker, or a lightweight sputterer?

If you'd rather not disclose that, then just tell us what rod length and line size you throw it on.  😊 

I actually remember Rod, he was involved with Walen rods back in the day.   I think I have a handful of those 1/2oz. twin bladed straight runners.....if that's the one.  😊

Wrench, I throw it on 6’-6” G-Loomis 15# Big Game. So you remember Rod. So you know when you get you butt kicked buy a guy with use of one arm and electric reels You better stop and hear what he has to teach

Hmmm, may have mis-spoke, I don't recall him having only one arm.   That name though..... I'm almost certain that he used to come into the bait shops here on the west side of Lake O with a younger guy....whose name I have been racking my brain over for an hour.   They were selling those buzzbaits that I sent you a pic of, and pimping Walen rods with the spiral wrapped guides.

Wackerman, Jack!!! 

That was the younger guys name.
