My first whopper plopper bank find, ripped out of some tules along with a ton of old line that initially snagged my bait.

All the trash line they left in the water.

good job cleaning up the spot… and yes the “rigs” people assemble are often baffling.. half the fun of lure hunting for me is just that… examining the setup.

Thats the best we always found, But I always lost expensive lures haha, Yesterday I lost my second chad shad.

Not exactly lost but.....I was going through some old stuff and found this guy in a mislabeled box I hadn't opened in years. I thought I had snagged all of the ones I had. Its like finding treasure.

Found a gunmetal shad Pointer 100 in the rocks, front hook rusted away, back hook down to two points. No cracks, no air bubbles when I held it underwater.

Scrubbed it as well as I could, some of the dirt is fully baked on at this point and actually looks shiny like it's under the clear coat. 3 new split rings and new hooks and it's going into my arsenal.
