Fishrman Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Fished the Joe Bass with my son, had a great day and caught a lot of fish. Cranked a RK and wart most all day, did throw a jerkbait a little early. Ran up the James and just fished channel swings. Caught several fish, 15 keepers. Our 5 we weighed came in at 16.60, good enough for 10th place out of 61 boats. WT was 48-50 up the James on Saturday. Great water color. Best color for us was red/black combo. I think 21 and some change won and 7lb was big bass. Lots of limits weighed in. Good luck when you get to go. cheesemaster, magicwormman, nomolites and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicwormman Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Great report! I'm curious on which cb was best.......... Rock Crawler or wart? There has been so much controversy on which is best this time of year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishrman Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Well, we threw the RK more, so we caught more on it, but our biggest one, a 5.90 came on a wart. I like both, like the wart better, but I like that I can get a RK deeper easier. Been experimenting since last year with throwing the RK on 15# fc, make as long a cast as I can and I can get the depth I need, just need to do that with a wart I guess. But using the 15# hasn't seemed to negatively affect me. Or at least I tell myself it hasn't. dtrs5kprs and magicwormman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 They have come out with a "Deep" Wart. Basically a Wart with a bigger bill. Haven't fished one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought one. Might chuck it at some state lake fish up here if the snow will melt. I curious about what the extra length does to the wobble. Will be well past that point on TR by the time I get down this year. Quillback and magicwormman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishrman Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 We did find some moss where we first started cranking, the further up we went in the more off colored water, the less we ran into. Seemed like from Pt. 13 up we did not encounter any. magicwormman, dtrs5kprs, m&m and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Held the bill up to the bill on Crawler. Looks pretty much the same except the Wart bill is just a shade bigger. dtrs5kprs, magicwormman and m&m 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
