Duffman Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's been real quiet in this thread recently, time to bring it back to the top. A hair under 21" and 6 lbs on the nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I'm not done yet, are you? Exact same length as the above bass 20 7/8" 5.8 lbs These two fish were caught 9 days and 200 miles apart, one on a worm, one on a spinnerbait. I'm hoping my lucky big bass mojo keeps going for another few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlcmc Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 GREAT fish. I'm so impressed. How bout some tips on technique. Spinnerbait you say? around structure? open water? deep /shallow? bottom content? Feed me ! I'm starving here with only dinks!:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Right place, right time, with some luck thrown in. The second bass was caught on the cabin lake, my biggest ever there by far. I was using a white spinnerbait with a silver indiana blade and a red indiana blade, seemed like a good pike/bass go to color. Bass are few and far between in the lake so I usually target both species at once. There's this submerged rock that must be a great ambush spot for bass, doesn't matter what time of year, there usually is a bass there. She hit right away and headed into the bulrushes, got her out only to see her head back in again, steady pressure finally brought her to my hand. She was defineatly hanging next to structure in less than four feet of water. This size fish is a rarity on this lake, I got lucky. As for getting bigger bass, my best advise would be to fish lakes that hold better than average size bass. Lakes like O'Dowd, Waconia, Bryant and Tonka in the metro area, it just increases your odds of getting into a sweet bass. Also, don't be afraid to use bigger lures than you're used to this time of year. And don't worry about getting skunked, those two bass were the only ones I caught each day. Just put your time in on the water, that's one of the biggest things, ya ain't going to catch anything sitting on the couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEECH21 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Good advise Duffman. My biggest largie at 22 inches was caught on one of the lakes you mentioned above and it was caught on a musky inhaler bucktail. BIG fish=BIG bait! The bigger fish most of time won't waste any of their energy chasing around small baits, they go for the ones that will count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
