I was casting a Bill Norman Middle N crankbait (in white with a lt
purple back)

Right there is your problem, you were throwing the wrong color and size
Norman!
Where was the ol' standby? ;-)

Seriously, did YOU not try a spinnerbait? It's like your second bait
after a
crankbait, is it not? Fishing a spinnerbait over and in the weeds and
ripping
it free from time to time might have gotten a bigger bite. Maybe slow
rolling
the bait over and around the deeper weeds.

I would have also had to try a Crigged plastic in the grass beds. I know
it's
a pain in the rear to do it in the weeds, but it can pay off. I've fished
in
the wind in weeds and got away with using a 3/8 oz. bullet weight on the
Crig.
I could still cast and feel the weeds and the hangups were a bit less.


I was really surprised the spinnerbait didn't work. I used it during the
time I was using the buzzbait, cause there were fish breaking on shad all
over the place in the cove where I launched.

Any good tricks for holding the worm on the hook in the weeds while
C-rigging? I don't mind the weeds, but having to adjust the worm after
every other cast gets a little frustrating... Maybe I need to get one tha
floats a little better...
