Hoffer Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Anybody have experience using the chatterbaits for Northerns. Thinking of using the larger sized 3/8 oz ones in canada next week. Also bought a few of the smaller ones for smallmouth - but I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with the larger sized ones for norts!Thanks-Hoffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjac Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I have not used the smaller ones but a common complaint from the bass guys that use them is how many pike they catch! Try bringing a couple, sure couldn't hurt! Enjoy your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH47 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hoffer,I used one of the bass size chatterbaits (white/white) on Lac Seul and caught both northern and walleye with it. Oddly enough I didn't catch any bass with it at all.The northern seemed like they were really angry at it when they hit it. I even had a nice 22" walleye come out of the weeds and strike it like a northern would.Like Chris said, it sure wouldn't hurt to try it. Good luck!Regards,CH47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxMN Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 On my small and clear lake, with lots of small pike, I have not really caught many pike on them. Granted, I have not giving them a ton of time yet, but I thought it would bring the pike in like crazy, but so far last year it did not. I haven't tried it yet this year, I don't think. But it didn't set any records last year for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyquicksand* Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have also caught quite a few northern on chatterbaits... mostly in the late summer and fall, but I've been too busy throwin worms for bass this year to have used chatterbaits so...
