Spottedbass68 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 When do you guys find the slammer at its best? Conditions and time of year and areas bluff walls points etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Coontail weed edges with wind. But I am amazed but what I see others do. My bud has a magic one that produces double digits, something I never experienced. One or two good bites with strike outs in between is the better expectation.

Mossypumpkin Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Clear water is a must for perfect days. Seems to be the biggest factor for me, anyway. Hard to say the best conditions. I have caught 45+ fish in the fall on nights near full moon. We have had 35+ fish days in mid-summer on sunny days with no wind. There has almost been no pattern as to where I catch them, tho. At my favorite slammer lake, we get them literally in 1 fow, over 20 fow and everywhere in between. Over cabbage beds, rockpiles, shallow sand with docks, shallow flats with nothing, along docks and floats are great, over channel drops. I doubled up last summer on with a 4lber and a 3.5lber on each hook on a 2' flat with nothing nearby. I have caught fish so shallow on them, I was actually casting as shallow as I could, to show myself that there would NOT be a fish there. There was.

MA Frog Man Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Spring summer or fall. Shallow or deep. There really isn't any perfect conditions like Jesse said. One of my best days was in the middle of the day in the summer with no wind. Very versatile. wallyc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not too bad with a slammer yourself Jesse haha. A lot of days bringing one rod and one bait to force myself to figure out how to catch fish in different situations on a slammer. It's my go to bait even in tournaments. I find that the slammer is best when it's casted away from shore when everyone else is casting at the shore haha Mossypumpkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got0ne Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Everywhere theres water.... Although I do best late summer to fall cranking the bait down 1-3 feet and ripping it through scattered grass fast.. They just STOP it.

wallyc Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Shane, the Slammer is on my top ten list. I feel I can throw a slammer any time of the year and anticipate it STOPPING during any part of the retrieve. To me, dosent matter what time, weather condition, depth of water, or, clarity. Seems to me, the large eyes & the clickity clack of the body segments hitting together helps call the bass closer to take a look. And then those eyes....., after the short staring contest...CRUSH !!
