Funny... all those spinnerbaits we sent you, and not one tied one.

I did catch a fish on a spinner bait a week before that put us on a bank
where Manual caught two fish on Senkos.

I caught out kicker casting and jigging a spoon.

It would have made a better picture with a bunch of spinner baits dangling
off those rods in the background huh?

I notice one of Gilbert's craw trailers shows up nicely on the flippin'
stick though. Maybe I'll have to stage the picture better next time. LOL.

A tip for anybody coming this way. One of the local guys started a craze on
Gilbert's new waterdog plastics with the red gills. He has been fishing
them weightless lip hooked just like a live waterdog and catching a few
really nice fish on them. It sinks way too slow for my patience level, but
it tends to sink slowly and very slightly nose down. I htink he is fishing
it as very slow soft jerk bait. I think it would be another good follow up
bait to use, and I plan to fish that waterdog very heavy as soon as there is
a consistant spawn.

TJ from Daichii suggested I fish it with a 5/0 Bleeding Bait Butt Dragger.
(of course one of his hooks) I tried it and its looks like it will make a
perfect nose down appearance in a spawning bed. I can't imagine that a big
cow bass won't try and kill a water dog slurping up her eggs. I think it
will make a nice trade off for the Storm swim baits, and it has the advatage
that its made by a great guy like Gilbert. I'll take a picture of the
rigging and post it later. I'll see if I can get an in the water pic too.
Maybe in a glass dish or something so you can see how it settles down like
its feeding on the bottom.

Enjoy your gloating about the t-shirts, Bob. When I get to Florida, I'm
fishing naked! LOL


Ah, I was trying to figure out how to take the time to go until you said
that. LOL

I posted a picture from last weekend of Manual Garcia holding up our
catch
before weigh in. Note the short sleeve t-shirt. Another from the
weekend
before shows my Uncle Paul who flew in from Ohio for a weekend holding
up
a
deep cranked fish.
