You want to bend the line tie just a bit to get the lure started that way, and you jerk a little harder in the direction of the structure. You still want it to walk the other way so if you bend the line tie too much then it won't work at all. So for instance: Slight jerk when the lure walks right, heavier jerk when the lure tracks left towards the stump.

Same with dog walking baits to do exactly what you're doing scaleface. I learned it from reading a Bernie Shultz article many years ago.

Oh crap, so sorry. I had no idea. I wish you nothing but luck on the surgery and a speedy recovery.

Try not to be over confident In all honesty, I hope this year you get on em after ice out and your confidence for year's to come will much more positive ... Good luck (oh an a red craw lipless crank yo-yo'd ... kick up some weed/grass while you're at it )

Can't agree more. I let kids be kids. And to be completely real with you, I probably did it as a kid as well.

My best producers at ice out is a yo-yo’d lipless crankbait and a jig and chunk or craw type trailer

Black and blue jig & Uncle Josh trailer

Wait, why am I laughing, that makes me 17 years older! And you’re sending me malocchio curses my way!?! When are you going to start respecting your elders?

Haha…that was salty

Oh man, that came out great ... Sweet fish! Congrats

And I'll be cheering you guys on a couple of hours south of you! Loved your post and wishing you guys a great time

Maybe he goes commando

Same

Oh no Bob, so sorry for your loss. On your way up the Maine Turnpike you'll see a Jigfishn look-alike at the rest area on exit 25 saying a prayer for you.

Oh right, that was after the Bills loss when they blew the big lead. They didn’t lose again after that…well until Sunday

Hey @gim, I had a feeling you’d pick up on that! Haha I’m gonna be so real with you, I was dozing off in the middle of the 3rd qtr. I think I posted about the Seahawks well deserved win with about 1.5 min left and went to bed. And yes, I had forgotten about it yesterday. Sorry, not trying to be a poor sport about it. Hopefully it wasn’t taken that way. I was just dog tired. Good pick up

I've never heard of anglers doing that? Now that I think of it, it does create some more resistance than a slippery non-scuffed worm? I guess?

I forgot about this 12pound, shut the front door …

Nah … this is Maine, they like the real lighter fluid. @Swamp Girl, better get some Canadian whiskey

I have the same problem at my house in Maine. There is only so many places to push the snow. I got the plow drivers ear and said; “Hey, I was hoping you can push over there instead of over here, because ….” Which worked, Providing an alternative solution went a long way in that respect Good luck

Looks like a warming trend coming up for us here in MA. 40*s is on the menu for our 10 day. Our overnights are still upper 20*s/low 30*s but we have couple of rain days sprinkled in so lets hope some of our waters start to unlock a bit in the next few weeks and we can get rid of this fricken snow! Almost there! BTW - I hate February

And still waaaay more than the Bills had in the Super Bowl in the last 30ish years ... haha

all good man

@padlin , I guess our posts weren't classy ... haha

What an awesome trip @ATA . Thank you for posting this
