back to skinner for the october bite. perfect timing to get my boat quarantined from dvl.
got there at open and ran through last years routine. threw the same crap til my arm fell off without a bite. still too early. ended up picking up the buzzbait and got some attention. nothing of size. 12-14" fish. around 10 or so i decided to pick up the swimbait sticks. ended up staying with that the rest of the day. caught a bunch, lost a bunch, video'd a bunch. it was a pretty fun day. water clarity is stained in the north and both east ends but clear as usual on the south shore. water is up Up UP! bite is there but you just have to work on it a bit to refine. plenty of 1" bait around but the larger fish definitely weren't key'd on them. baby bass is the candy right now.
37365
cl8 bait cb7" slow sink
moderate priced bait that has an oh so sexy swim to her. its very easy to over work this bait. a nice steady cadence is more than adequate until you find the baits sweet spot. too fast and you'll know it. this is a bait i fish when they want it a little slower than my typical "crank til you arms fall off" retrieve.
