Got some time out on the water this morning before heading off to work basically the rest of the day (uggghhhh). We were on the water from 7-10:30 this morning. We caught 5 between the two of us, so if we were fishing a partner tournament, we would have had a "limit" and at that point would have been culling for the next 4 and a half hours. The weather was frontal conditions, there was a steady light rain the entire time, cloudy, and there was wind blowing a lot, pushing most of the current towards a rip rap bank, where I caught my first fish. We caught all of our fish by fishing Spinnerbaits parallel to the bank. It was about as perfect as conditions could have been for fishing Spinnerbaits. I was fishing a War Eagle Mike McClelland Finesse Spinnerbait and the old man was fishing a Booyah Super Shad.

Oh, they also weren't hooked very good and didn't seem like they were eating it all the way. Seemed like they were just reaction bites. I think part of it was the fact that the War Eagle Spinnerbait had a trailer built into the skirt. I will be ordering trailer hooks for it soon. I'm thinking red?

I've never noticed a difference for trailer hook colors. I like the vmc trailer hooks though, incase you wanted a brand.

Nice fish!       I use strike king trailer hooks and they work great i`m sure the vmc`s are good to.

Thanks guys! I'll probably buy a couple of brands/colors and see if I find a preference.

Good idea see what you like best!

Nice looking bass!  I have had them hit a spinnerbait where all you feel is a tap tap tap.  Just like fishing plastics.

Nice fish. The old man looks pretty young to me.
