  3. Swimbait fishing must haves...

    in The Underground

    Posted

    Mentioned here already,a net would be on the top of my list.When you do catch a TRUE GIANT you have got to get it in.I can't (won't) boat flip TRUE GIANTS im not used to catching them  all the time as they are kind of rare and i get a little wiggy.Been a lot of times when i get them up next to the boat they go wild.Lost a few when i started throwing big baits they can and will throw baits.Wishing you had a net when a TRUE GIANT or even worse a PB  comes unbuttoned is a feeling like no other.

    Yeah I am heading back out this afternoon...I hate thinking of her swimming around with that wake jr in her jaw, that sucks. 

    Ive never lost one  with a swimbait pinned to its jaw,ive lost several with DD crainkbaits in them.Was surprised how big a fish a Norman 22 will float up.Recovered a couple of them.Now if loose i always check back a couple times in the day when possible.

    I should add one more thing -- they will still come up fairly shallow in winter. People get this idea in their head that the fish go deep and sulk in the winter and it's just not true. Big fish will go shallow but it has to be near deep water. I especially like to fish shallow in the afternoon when the sun has warmed up the big rocks, the bluff walls or the flats. They will happily move to be even a few degrees warmer. Even a big dark patch of grass/weeds will hold enough heat to pull some bass over to it.

    ^^^^^Yep^^^^^ Ive kept a fishing log book for close to 20 yrs.Here the bigger fish move up and feed between 12:00pm and 4:00pm.

    At least thats when the majority of my big fish have been caught.They may or not be up at other times,between those hrs is when they chew.No longer does the talk of bass staying deep in the mud ring true here.

    Last winter while ice fishing saw the largest bass ive ever seen or caught on my

    home water.We were sitting in about 15 ' of water close to a drop off that probably went to 50-60' when the screen on the camera blacked out i thought i stepped on the cord or something.When the screen was returning to normal (the fish had blacked it out) a giant was eyeballing my buddies ice fly.

    The fish slowly swam off, the fact that it was out cruising kind of caught me off guard.See a lot smaller fish thru the camera but nothing over 5# ever.It was cruising in 15' of water looking for a easy meal im sure.

    Needless to say, fished that area in the spring after ice off caught several in the 5-61/2# range.The biggest ive caught is just under 8# this fish was in a different class altogether.

  23. PATS (WHAT ROD)

    in The Underground

    Been throwing the PATS (long bill) a bunch lately.The ones i have been successfull with get down to about 6-8' with 15# mono.Im inbetween rods with this size bait.It has to much torque for my ML 795,and it it is not enough bait for my for my Loomis 955.I like to feel the bait on retrieve and have had the best luck fishing this like a crainkbait bouncing it off structure etc.

    Anyone else fishing these style  baits the same way?Let me know what rod your using.Im looking at the ML 806 and the 805cb Dobyns makes for throwing the 10xd which way overpowers the 795 (for me any way.)

        Thanks in advance
