Hi all I'm Don, I'm 51. I fish oxbow lakes of the MS Delta My Largest bucket mouth last year was just over 9# Caught on a Crawdad colored Culprit worm "one of my favorites". I use mostly Soft baits. I specifically prefer crawdad soft baits like the Storm hot rattle craw in brown. I once used hard baits long ago like rattle traps and devil horse but have found the soft baits to be more fun and more productive. I have just about every soft bait there is and have caught fish on all of them. I enjoy fishing from my crow wing kayak. Also have a 16' duracraft Allweld With a 30hp nissan,HB 727 +150*WS MG bow mount TM. Some what modest but plenty big for the oxbow lakes I fish which are generally around 8- 10 feet in depth . My fishing partner and I Are looking forward to catching a lot of BIG BASS this spring. There will be some over 10* And we often catch the limit I'll post some pics.
That's about all for now. I'm going to post a question in the fishing tackle forum. I'll see you there 8-)
