Well it happened again, just like last year I got skunked in the open
memorial day tourney. I heard the winners caught their fish all by sight fishing. I only saw a few fish but couldn't get them to bite. Whats the best technique for catching fish holding on beds? I have another tournament wed. night and I'm sure they will be on beds. Oh! I'm in s/w lower michigan. |

I did nearly as well with a wacky senko. -- Bob La Londe http://www.YumaBassMan.com |

I'm in s/w lower michigan. I don't bed fish often, but when I do I've found that I do well with either a lightly weighted Texas Rigged Lizard or Craw. It helps too to use a light colored lure so that you can see when they pick it up. Often times, they'll do it so quickly that you don't feel the take. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Unless your eyes are REALLY GOOD look for pre or postspawn bass near bedding
areas. Tubes are probably the best all-around bait to throw on beds. It's more the action than the bait, as you often need to irritate the bedders into biting.

Warren There is no better way to put that action into a lure than the Wiggle Rig, plus it "stays" in the bed until the fish tries to take it out, if you miss that, the wiggle rig automaticly snaps the lure back into the bed, you don't have to cast it again. You just vary the action until the bass strikes it, it takes a little practice, but you can get any action you want out of a lure sitting in one spot. WE have not tried the "every species rig and lure" in a "bass" bed yet, but it should work, it works EVERYWHERE ELSE ! Blue gills hit it instantly on their beds, but they hit anything on bed anyway. -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Long Shot "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Decoy Activator and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

The statement was an answer to a question,, everything I wrote is totally true, it does what I say it does, anyone who has fished it will agree it keeps the lure in the bed, it keeps the lure moving, now to the skill of the one using it, to get the fish to strike it is another thing. In the hands of me, or Bill Dance, it catches huge numbers of bass, if the condistions are right for it (any time Carolina, Texas, or drop shotting works on bass, the Wiggler does it better, in head to head testing, over two to one. The Wiggle rig is not going to be marketed to bass fishermen, but to live bait fishermen, trout, and pan fishermen. Although these guys will catch any bass that is near where they are using the rig. This market is 20 times that of bass fishermen, and these guys just want to catch fish any fish, and they are not arogant, like many bass fishermen are. their heads are not too big, and their brains so small, not to learn a new way to be more productive. A few bass fishermen (those that are not too arrogant to try a new way to fish) will buy this rig, when they see these other guys reeling in bass like crazy. WE put a 9 year old boy in a boat with a "bass" fishermen last weekend with this "new" rig, and "lure", the bass fishemen using everything else he had in his box, after two hours, the 9 year old had boated 7 bass, the bass fisherman 1 . That "dad" was totally in shock. The boy was Larry of Mojo's step son,, he kicked his real dad's arsh, and his real dad was doing everything to make Larry's (Mojo's) new rig look bad, including back seating his son. The "new" wiggle rig is based on my learning what every editor fish will eat, regardless of the time of the day, regardless of the size of the fish, they all eat this in it's natural state, when ever they find one. I just came up with a way to mimic the "natural state" of this food with a plastic lure of the same shape and size. SO far we have caught every fish we have seen, and many that were where we could not see them. We have fished it side by side everything from live bait to every lure you can think of, (it has out caught everything) and we have given them away at lakes and everyone has had the same results. They are currently not for sale, but will be in a few weeks. You will be reading about it in all the fishing rags over the next year, and beyond, in five years you probably won't buy a rag without some story about it in it, so you guys can be last to use it, although I wanted to make sure you were first to know about it. -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Long Shot "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Decoy Activator and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

Rodney, maybe I am missing something, but I have never seen your pitch work here. I have to give you credit, it doesn't look like you are going to give up as long as Warren keeps posting something. I walked around my tournament and asked everyone if they use the boomerang, I am guessing they wanted to keep it a secret, because they all looked at me like I was an idiot, and said they had no idea what the hell I was talking about. So the secret is still safe among the anglers here in Wisconsin. Chris |
