| I want to let fellow anglers know to take | | | | working these baits way too fast. Some were |
| your time fishing your bait. It's very | | | | only makin' one cast at cover, before heading |
| important a lot of times to slow down and | | | | to the next spot.This is what we did. We were |
| make sure you're working the cover to the | | | | using a twin tailed grub by Gary Yamamoto and |
| fullest. I want to tell a story...Our first | | | | one from another company called Chompers. We |
| trip on the lake bassin' last season, I was | | | | had these grubs Texas rigged on 3/0 Gammy |
| fishing the flowage in styles. It was me, my | | | | hooks. We would cast them out and really just |
| girl, and her brother. We started early | | | | let the bass grab them off the bottom. Then |
| fishing from shore. As we were fishing, we | | | | we'd give the bait a little pop here and |
| saw a lot of tourney guys. Found out there | | | | there, but overall a very slow presentation. |
| was a tourney there in the next couple days, | | | | A lot of the time you would go to pop the |
| so the guys were doing a little pre-fishing. | | | | bait, and the fish was on. Well, just a |
| We noticed these pros were flying through our | | | | thought.I also wanted to say that all day we |
| area in a hurry. We also noticed not 1 of | | | | focused on a few patches of cover and all day |
| them caught a bass. We just smiled and kept | | | | we where productive. I also have to say that |
| fishing. By lunch, we all had at least 5 or 6 | | | | my girl pulled in a nice 18inch largemouth |
| nice bass, but we weren't done yet. We spent | | | | and her brother pulled in a 21 inch |
| all afternoon. At the end of a long day, we | | | | largemouth weighing in at 5lbs, so if you go |
| managed to reel in 50 plus bass.What did I | | | | and something isn't working, try changing the |
| note from the tourney guys? Well, we didn't | | | | little stuff first...like slowing or speeding |
| see them reel any bass in. They worked that | | | | your presentation. Then, if you still get no |
| area with far too much speed, and the wrong | | | | bite, switch your crank bait to plastic or |
| bait and presentation. It was all wrong. They | | | | spinner to popper and you should get results |
| were using spinners and cranks, but were | | | | as well as learn a few new tricks. |
