Just got back from the river and caught a 21 inch walleye with a red eye shad. If you work it low you can get walleyes too. It's not just for bass.

You can catch most fish species in the lake on

I recommend academy's h20 xpress lipless cranks. They are very nice and reasonable compared to other brands. You just can't beat the red eye shad or the xcalibur xrk50s though.

I love lipless cranks especially in the prespawn and in the fall. My favorites are the red eye shad and the rapala rippin rap which is pretty under rated.

Caught a few "keeper" sized bass on a Spro Aruku Shad today.

Usually I use live target golden shiners. The 1/2 oz. size has landed LM bass, walleye, Rainbow and Brown trout, Crappie, perch, pickerel.... Even caught a landlocked atlantic salmon on one! The most versatile bait I own.

Does anyone use the storm thin fins? I've seen them at bps bit wasn't sure if they were good baits.

I have some of the original thin fins and have had very good success with them. Don't know if the newer versions of them work as well or not. They are a little difficult to cast but it's not terrible if you use spinning gear.

I may pick one up and see how it fares. I've got a ton of SK red eye shad in my box and those are big producers for me right now, so I'll have to force myself to tie on a thin fin.

Thin Fins are light floaters , nothing like a lipless crankbait. I dont have one anymore because they are difficult to cast on baitcasting equipment.

X2^ The ThinFin Silver Shad is one of my favorite baits this time of year. Cast it tight to a rocky shoreline, twitch it a couple of times and hang on!

When I first started Bass fishing they were my favorite lure. I need to start using them again. Twitch it just like you say.

I have some of those, but swear they are Bombers. Did Bomber originally make them?

The local tackle store has some NIB they look old lol. Be glad to pick them up for u next time I'm down that way, Thursday.

I am a fan of the SPRO aruku shads! They cast great and keep a good heads down balance on retrieve. I love ripping them during this time of year. The paint jobs hold up pretty good too.

Love em! Use the plain ol rattle trap and works great. I like to throw em right in the pads through breaks and canals in the cover. Gets em when nothing else will.
