benefit tournament

[merc1997 Bo]

a buddy of mine begged me to come out of retirement and fish a benefit tournament out of h highway.  i was not really enthused about it, but the benefit was for a good cause.  well, we won first and i had big bass with a 6.34.  caught about a dozen keepers total.  caught all of them on a 1/2 Elite GrassJig with out new PB&J skirt buzz cut.  for a trailer, you had to have something with flapping legs.

caught everything on dead gravel flats that had submerged brush in 5 to 8 ft. of water.  these bass are hanging the top of the bushes waiting ambush shad.  with that said, one would think spinner bait, but over the years, i have found a jig crashing through the bush and then dropping it will get them to just knock slack in your line.  this technique of course requires a jig that will come right through the cover without hanging up.  it also will catch better quality.  even if you can see the bush, dabbing in it to not get snagged will not get them.  you have to smack the bush.  and, as i stated the bass are not at the bottom of the bushes, but hanging in the tops of them.

i think i will go back into retirement while on top😀.

the new skirts will be a filtering in process.  they will filter in as they sell the older stock.  if you are around the area, sportmens corner here in cassville, and hook and catch at shell knob have them, but i believe hook and catch does have some of the new skirts.  or they will, when i take their order down to replace what has been sold.
