Yes, try a weedless texas rigged senco, and try a small swimjig/ 1/4oz or less with some sort of swimbait.

THATS A COOL IDEA! i need to do that when i walk to go fish!

Is the swim jig your new confidence bait?

Try swimbaits, and slowly creep them along. If you would like a more visual instuctional watch this video. He's a very reliable source.

Do you have any medium size swimbaits? If so, try those. If you dont and would like to purchace some, I would recomed the Huddleston Weedless Shad, or the Bull Shad Swimbait. Even though their is no cover, i would recomend a small topwater frog, and cast it right up agent the basnks. ~Ish

I do it with a Daiwa V-Shock Combo- 6 pound mono.... never had one break off! I don't do the same setup as most, thats for sure.

You say what i did it the topic i started! Wire, hook, pliers/wirecutters. pretty simple, and you will hook up if they grab it.

If you go back out to fish for them, I have a particular lure that I consistantly catch Bowfin on regardless of conditions. It is the Rebel Jupin Minnow in Bone White. Of course some days will be better than others, but every time I go to the spot where i know thier is Bowfin(for me its the St. Marys River In Florida) I have used this lure and at least had a few bites, and usually hook up. I have also caught Bass, and Longnose Gar on it, but mainly use it to target the Bowfin. They run about $4-$5 online, and they are very consistant for catching Bowfin.

Man, your ltteraly the "Hair Jig" version of Butch Brown!

Try aroung where they have a lot of lilly pads which is close to the "fish attractor". They have nice catfish if you fish a rig on bottom for the kids , and try frogs+jigs but most of all pick up green pumpkin senkos and fish it wackey or weightless/small weight texas rigged But fish around the lily pads, trust me theirs big bass their!

That avatar pic suggest that its a pig.

what sis it weigh!

Cali + Swimmer = 15+ pound bass

By the way tom, what was your biggest bass, and i bet it was on a swimbait!

I agree, the fishermen i mentioned all seem to prefer shallow water fishing which is probably why they are not as consitant in their success

Ok- fine you got me..... their just my favorite pros

Any one want a killer trailer that has good swimming action? Check out the Berkly Power Bait Chunk! I tried it on my chatter bait and it swims like a champ, and on the down fall when you stroke a jig..... unresistible to those bass!

Greg Hackney, Tommy Biffle, & Scott Martin

I know, i've never caught a cat over 5.3# but it was while catfishingand biggest bass i had caught before her was a 4.10# one that bit a little bit of worm on a Number 10 hook while bream fishing! the biggest bass i have caught on a lure was a 2.10#er on a 10' worm.

Let me show it the Banjo Minnow next time and see if i get a response.

You could still like it...... for being a beutiful fish!

..................................Cut RedEar Sunfish on the bottom, fishing for big channel catfish. You catch the big ones when you dont expect it!

Last time i asked, I got an answer from an 8 pounder. I dont think she spoke english, but I still I got the message..... REEL quick

Can't decide which one to buy, AAAAHHHHH! Hard choice.

Punching rig, green tungstun weight, green pumpkin skirt, what is the trailor?
