Camping with the family this week landed me next to a 10 acre pond stocked with panfish, trout, and largemouth; so after setting the kids up on a pier with some light poles and Crappie Nibbles I took a couple rods and very modest expectations to chase bass. The weather was cool so the swimming area of the pond had been undisturbed all day, and I had seen bass moving in and out from under all the floating slides, trampolines, and other play platforms in about 6' of water.  

 

I won't detail everything I threw at those fish that they completely ignored, but it was most everything I had in the bag.  After an hour I was working my way through different plastics (again, having already struck out with Senkos, flukes, tubes, etc.) and I finally decided to open the bag of Havoc Pit Bosses I had bought and never tried, and rigged one weightless on a 4/0 hook.  It was like a doggone dinner bell when it hit the water; I pulled in three fish that watched it pretty warily for a second before absolutely slugging it but then they were fighting over it, and many fish later I finally landed the hawg of the bunch, a whopping 3 lbs. lol.

 

So thanks, Pit Boss, for saving my camp fishing bacon.  I know that most any bait can have its time to shine, but from now on I'll be keeping a few bags in with the other essentials.

That pit boss is the bellweather for Berkley's Havoc line!  One of the best trailers out there too!

The Pit Boss Jr on a light jighead is a killer on those bass that you can see as well. 

I have no idea how many bags of Pit Boss's I have.  They work, they're cheap and you can use them for just about any technique you might want to use.  What's not to like!

Love the pit boss and craw fatty!
