Default Skunked

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.

Locate a bunch of fish the day before and then go back and throw to them
from your max distance blind. My ABA aluminum partner preferred a fluke for
this. I did nearly as well with a wacky senko.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.
