Fantasy Fishing 2021 - Official Thread
I saw that .Also Whitaker backlashed so bad he had to put the rod and reel away . Hackney made an overhand cast under a bridge and hit the bottom of it . One of the guys hit his cameraman with a lure . We're all screw-ups .

Prop baits
Heres the Bomber Prop A in silver flash . My most successful retrieve is to twitch it as fast as I can but still remain in contact with the surface . It excels post spawn around cover and points leading away from spawning coves . I have several new in package .Although unavailable Bagleys offers the same design . I have never used the Bagleys .

Did you guys see they are giving out 1000 dollar bonuses to anglers who get bass trac right . Bass is trying to male it more accurate for viewers and Fantasy Fishing participants .

Prop baits
My favorite prop bait is the Bomber Prop A , long ago discontinued but I purchased a lifetime supply .The heaviest 6 bass limit I ever caught was on one . Bagleys makes a similar one , the Bang-O-Lure with a tail prop .

Riprap Tips
I fish riprap from shore and yes some lures are lost .So I use inexpensive lures like pre-rigged swimbaits , Beetle spins , jig and grub .A Beetle spin creates more lift than a jig and grub if need be . I fan cast , let the lure sink and as soon as it touches down , pop it up and retrieve , following the contour from deep to shallow . It can be fished effectively this way . On rivers rip rap is best in summer . Large waves from boats or barges dislodges bait fish , crawfish , nymphs... and all sorts of game fish including bass take advantage of it .

Rick Clunn Skunked At BP Elite - St. Johns River , FL. !?!
Because he was in last place anyways it was meaningless to him . I know of two other times hes done it , probably done it more than that. He finishes near the bottom so often that weighing in a couple of dinks is not going to boost his angler of the year standings so why bother .

Best way to tell what makes the difference?
My cousin and I were fishing team tourneys . One tournament we brought in a limit and I caught every one of them . Good enough for third place . We were using the same baits . Very next tourney he caught the limit and I wore the collar . Same lures . Took second that time .

Skirted grub(hula grub)
I have never used them for largemouths that I can remember but there is no reason why they would not work well . I have slaughtered river smallmouths T-rigging them .
