indy basser Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Qucik question, If fishing from a boat do you want to throw it out 15 yards from shore and parellel to the shore too? Or do you do this because the bait will eventually work back to the shore? What are the bas relating to at this 12-15 yard spot? I always throw my baits pretty close to the shore and try to work them back along cover. Is this not the best way to do it? Sorry my quick question turned into a few more .

indy basser Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 1 Last question I promise. What is the windy day alternative to this tactic considering these 2 baits are being fished weightless? Just add weight to them? If so what kind, jighead, bullet, carolina rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 8, 2008 Author Super User Share Posted May 8, 2008 No. The baits are heavy and very aerodynamic. You should have no problem fishing them weightless in the wind. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanker4lyfe Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 and also if you've got the ability first throw a spinner bait thru the area to prone for active bass but this is exactly what i do i throw an active bas type bait then follow with a senko and the a shaky head rig i catch bass all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashkcn Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i will definetly take your advice! thanks. what if you are using the type of hooks the Gamakatsu 4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hooks, how do you avoid the stumps and weeds underneath. do you use a weed less hook, which i use mostly now, and how do you avoid it.

Super User roadwarrior Posted May 16, 2008 Author Super User Share Posted May 16, 2008 Tex-posed, skin hooked. You will still hang-up occasionally, it's the price you pay for fishing where bass live. Stated another way, "If you ain't getting hung, you ain't fishing in the right place!"8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbanger Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Durn good post THanks RW! I am gonna devote my fishing next week to this in a new lake. I have yet to actualy land more than 1 bass in a trip dont ask me why? -Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyla Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 thanks for the great post. As a novice (I have only been at it 20 years) I appreciate the lesson. I have a couple questions though. Why that particular line selection? is it feel, durability? I have always read that you lift up the rod tip to move the worm through the water, you suggest a horizontal sweeping motion. Does this motion allow the worm to swim differently? Again thanks for the advise Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 22, 2008 Author Super User Share Posted July 22, 2008 #1 The Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft has virtually no memory "in use". Thin line (#6 is .010" diameter) allows maximum action from the bait. #2 A horizontal sweep moves the bait forward, but only lifts it a few inches, much like a crawdad actually moves. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyla Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 thanks, very informative. I have been doing well with your bait suggestions. I miss a lot fish though and I wondering if its the braided line after reading the braided line thread. I bought the yoruri line and will try it. again thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User firefightn15 Posted July 23, 2008 Super User Share Posted July 23, 2008 RW, I just found this thread from '06 that you started. I've used search, but unfortunately I missed this one. Short of holding my hand this is exactly the type of tutorial I've been looking for. Thanks a million, even if I am a little late. Can't wait for the weekend to give it a whirl!

Super User firefightn15 Posted August 4, 2008 Super User Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ran with RW's suggestion this morning, but had no hits. Was ready to go back to the shallows with the spinner bait, but decided to run the gamut one more time, only throwing cranks. Wow, I found them. And twice the size I was used to. Normally catch 2-3 lbers, but I immediately was catching them at 4lbs right were RW said they should be. Why nothing with the plastics? I had 10-15 ft of water, no current, sand and rock bottom, and was carolina rigged with trick sticks. Should I have maybe been rigged differently?

Uncle Leo Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Used the weightless Senko method on a spot where I normally would have caught them on a T-Rig, Super Brush Hog. Normal method was a no go. Used a weightless Senko just as RW decribed but with 8 lb line, too weedy for 6 lb. Caught 6 bass in 15 minutes. Moral of the story, "Try something different today".
