RECOIL Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 blk/blu jig. My best LM came on a carolina rigged senko, but I often resort to the trusty jig for a kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpmanjake Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 if live bait is acceptable, definately a freelined shiner, no competition. i caught 6 fish above 5lbs, 1 over six, and 11 over 4 with that technique last year. if live bait is not acceptable, then i would have to seperate it into categories loltopwaters- lucky craft live sammys or the Jimmy houstons zara spook.jerkbaits- xraps or zulusswimbaits- shadalicious or any castaic (non trout colored), or strike king swimbaitcrankbaits, lucky craft live pointerjigs- defiantely black and blue, though i have had quite a bit of success with white, and with crawi usually tip a jig with either a 3-4" grub, or creature baits. brush hogs work pretty well when fished on a jig with a long shanki recently started fishing with roboworms, and they are quickly becoming one of my favorite baits. i have had alot of luck fishing them on a drop shotif i go by seasons spring- wacky rigged or malibu rigged senko, or xrap (shad or original), jigs, jerkbaitssummer- freelined shiner, zara spooks, lucky craft live sammys and live pointers,swimbaitsfall- xraps, live pointers, jigswinter- shiners under a loosely set tip up, i like the windlass. using a windlass and a castaic swimbait, or storm swimbaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpmanjake Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 A 2 oz white spinner bait, or jointed tail X-raps both work very well. 2oz!? is that a typo? did you mean 1/2 oz? 2oz seems way to big. the biggest i would fish is 3/4oz. but white is a great color, as well as chartruse and white. black has been good to me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably two oz with the twister tail I add) alot of people consider that a musky bait but I do very well with bass as well (on waconia). They work better if you add a 5 inch twister tail for color. Keeps the small ones off the lines. P.S if your gonna use a spinner that large make sure you have a rod that can support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Usually whatever I'm throwing for muskies! Otherwise have gotten 5 largemouth over 20" - two on 7" powerworms, one on a husky jerk, one on a chugbug, and one on a live frog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 My PB came on a white Red Eye Shad. Can't really say I have a big fish lure. I've caught big fish on just about everything I've tried except topwater baits. I guess if you want to keep smaller fish off, I catch few small fish on a spinnerbait.

CALVINIST Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Usually whatever I'm throwing for muskies! Otherwise have gotten 5 largemouth over 20" - two on 7" powerworms, one on a husky jerk, one on a chugbug, and one on a live frog. I second that. I have caught a huge smallie on a Rad Dog and a huge largie on a giant Jitterbug throwing for muskies. Both around 20". If you want big bass, sometimes it pays to use big lures.

Deitz Dittrich Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 nice fish muddie, dayyyyuuuum, you was playing in some nasty fog!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddog Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 The early bite was fun! The Bass in the photo hit my first cast. Last year I caught a fish at that spot as I was leaving the lake, so I went to that waypoint and made a cast (Boy am I glad I had that waypoint in the fog). The Bass were chasing bait fish near the surface and we would cast to the swirls on the surface (Just like fishing for White Bass). After the fog cleared the bite stoped and all we could fine was a massive school of bait fish. The action was fast but short lived. The spot was a 10' deep shelf on a steap drop off to the deepest part of the lake (classic). The bait fish were chased out over 12-25fow.

bassmann77 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 My personal best was on a unweighted Senko worm 21.5". A lot of 20's with texas weighted powerworms. I also use a black/blue jig with a black trailer that has put some good sized fish in the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
