OT Bass Fishermen...

Fish Pickwick a good bit.

For me this year it has be a Strike King 6XD Crankbait in Citrus Shad Color. Others have been a Damiki MegaMiki in Either Plum or Junebug (This thing is 11in long) on a 1oz football shaky head. 3/4oz Chompers Green Pumpkin Jig with a Alabama Craw Strike King Rage Tail for a trailer. This is Summer by the way.

Early Spring is A-Rig and Lipless Cranks (Rattle Traps).

Confidence is always in a Zoom Green Pumpkin Baby Brush Hog or Speed Craw.

Really miss Pickwick. Seemed like something was always biting even in the summer heat. We kept a rattle trap on one rod while fishing the sand humps and rock ledges for bass because it was inevitable the white bass would boil up around us.

My favorite place to throw a crankbait too.

Scum frog--medium crank bait--plastic worm and some kind of top water--pop top or devil's horse--still catch fish. Throw in a spinner bait. you are ready to go.

A box of worms and a cold beer usually works for me.

mole crickets marinated in Dale's

If the fish aren't biting just eat the crickets.

Bass fishing is something I've grown out of with age. Now, I only fish for crappie. Give me my 16' trolling poles, a box of minnows and put me on Grenada Lake at sunrise. Ain't nothing better...Throw those spinner baits and rattle traps away....

Don't fish pickwick as much as I did 4-5 years ago but agree on most of these. Really like the 6xd in citrus Shad. Like a 3/4-1oz Red Eye Shad. Love a jig n Pig there in crawfish pattern. Like a 10-12" worm and Junebug is my go to color. Also like a watermelon red speed crawl as far as just catching fish. Other than around the pond I seldom throw a H&H anymore but one of the best days I ever had up there was using one. Was in November and lake was at winter pool. There was a ton of grass in the back of the creeks and my buddies was catching a ton of white bass that were schooling. I found a double colorado bladed white and black H&H that looked just like those white bass. Was throwing it under and around the edges of the school and probably caught 10 largemouth in the 3-5lb range and another 15 around the 2range that were feeding on them. Was a fun day.
