TRD in Green Pumpkin=Snack Time!

Welcome and best of luck!

Power pro spectra 10lb on spinning setup.

Thank for the reply A-Jay. Where I fish there are usually small schools of tiny minnows and crayfish(some smallies have coughed these up while fighting them). I will have to check out the Ito Wakasagi pattern(I smell a purchase!?)

The Megabass Vision 110 is a great jerkbait. I have had some success with the GG Perch OB in clear water. What are some other colors that produce in clear water? Any input is greatly appreciated!

A super spook jr. in red head. I've had great luck catching big smallies with this bait, plus it's so much fun to throw! It just feels right having one tied on. Love it!

Welcome! This is the best place for bass fishing info. Lots of knowledgeable fellow fishermen willing to share advice.

I bought a black jitterbug a few weeks ago but haven't had the chance to use it. I cut off the tinny dull hooks that came with it, and replaced them with split rings and triple grip hooks(size 4). I can't wait to try it out as I've heard how productive it is at night. Might have to buy a buzzbait too!

I've had great success with the 30 size in Nasty Shad color. Smallies love this bait! I only use this if the water surface is smooth as glass.

Thanks Bluebasser86 for the reply. I just watched a couple videos of this bait in action. It kind of looks similar to a Sammy with the vertical position on the pause. I definitely won't be using a dressed treble. The main reason I am using this at night is the dark color and the fact that it's a pretty cool looking bait with plenty of detail. Also have to say that I love this forum!?

I was thinking about buying a Duo Realis Pencil 85 in Shadow OB(black with orange belly) for topwater fishing at night for smallies. Has anyone had good success with this bait? If so, do you recommend swapping the rear treble for a dressed one or will it affect the action? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Well done! You can't beat it! Congratulations!?Cheers!?

LMB-Beetle Spin with black curly tail grub SMB-Super Spook jr. in saltwater version Red Head(swapped rear hook with dressed treble)

I love the moment at the start of fighting a fish that it takes a bunch of drag letting you know that it is bigger than you had first thought. Combined with being hit on topwater=Adrenaline rush!!

Ned rigged Z-man TRD in Canada Craw, weightless wacky rigged super fluke jr. twitched ever so slightly, and if conditions permit, a topwater spook jr. is a great producer.

Thanks! I appreciate being welcomed!?Cheers!!?

Super Spook Jr. with rear dressed treble. Also had great luck recently with the BBZ-1 Rat30 in nasty shad color.

Hello fellow fishermen. Been checking out the site for a few months now. Amazing info and great fishing tips. I absolutely love to fish. Been doing it since I was a young kid with my dad and fellow fishing friends. Nowadays, I get to fish with my son(who also loves to fish). I usually target smallies as they are my favorite fish to catch by far. Love the clean clear lakes of northern Ontario. I'm still looking for that 5 pounder! Hopefully one day....?
