Lottabass

Any ides on how to rig an urchin when you need to get it into brush? I'm just learning how to fish these baits. Used a treble, a single, frog, and a weedless neko or wacky style but had the most succes with a bare, weedless jig head. Shown are 2 Unis on a jighead with a weed guard. Any other ideas?

Hemingway's "Big Two Hearted River" is great.

I'll second Patrrick McManus for humor. Also, Don Wirth and Cliff Shelby for The Adventures of Harry 'n Charlie. Not bass, but Hemingway's Big Two Hearted River is a wonderful fishing story.

@casts_by_fly Yes, this looks funny. I have a power pole micro anchor on my little boat and this is the handle on top of the pole. The camera angle makes it look like it's in the fishes mouth, but it's not.

It was so hot even the bass were sweatin'! In the first photo there is a 10 ft channel on the right and a 14 ft channel on the left. In between is a 6 ft flat with timber, brushpiles, and fallen trees. Bass heaven! SK 4.0 caught a lotta bass. Deflection gets action!

Yes, Katie. YOU!

I like to say... I'm smarter than I look. My wife would say, No, you're not.

@LGDFW "That's some major self doubt happening🤣" If you don't have confidence in what you are using, line, lure, location, it will affect your catching. You must know that when you cast you will catch a bass. Everytime.

Use whatever you can see.

To say you are quivering with anticipation would be an understatement.... We are too! Looking forward to your report!

This will come thru those weeds. T rigged or stuff weight inside.

Every time you go fishing, miss a bite, lose a big one, or get skunked, you're not wasting time. You're just on a different cast. What feels like a bad day on the water is actually protecting you from something you can't see. Even if you don't catch what you wanted, you will always end up where you're meant to be. Trust the process. Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Hot, clear, and calm. Perfect day to bang some wood with a squarebill. Yo Zuri, Bagleys, and SK 4.0 worked well. Most were in 2 fow.

I used a Fullcasi Coike on a carolina rig last week. 3/4 oz weight, 30 inch leader, frog hook. Outside weedline in 6 fow. I could see bass on graph 2 ft off bottom. This is a high floater so worked well for these fish.

After reading and watching a ba-zillion Coike vids and stories I am weary of it all. Nevertheless, here is my urchin storage idea. Costs nothing as I already had the box. Took the wire and platform from Uni container. The box will hold 5 wires with 2 baits on a wire. I don't know why you would need to carry more than that.
