YoTone Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Was at Marsh endlessly throwing a chatterbait and spinnerbait with nothing to show. then towards the end of the cove as i was lifting my chatterbait out of the water i see a muskie follow it. I drop it back into the water and i see her swim back and hammer it. Had her thrashing for a second or two then she spits the hook. Im now drinking away the pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday I fished the cove and noticed a guy painfully dissecting every laydown for hours and hours. we were fishing the opposite sides and neither of us got a bite. im physically exhausted pedaling up and down that whole place. maybe in a couple more weeks they'll be up shallow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce424 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 today was a good day at blue marsh. caught seven bass with one being a tank of a smallie, probly a lil over 6lbs . was using a lipless mostly. but caught a couple on spinnerbaits too. caught a nice 5 lb largie but she swallowed the lipless to her gills and was bleeding bad so i didnt take a pic. i just unhooked and got her back in the water as fast as possible and she swam off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoTone Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Had to put down the chatterbait and reached for my jig out of desperation. Caught her in really thick shallow cover. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoTone Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Drove 1 hour to try my hand at nockamixon then right as I launched my rudder cable snapped. Drove all the way back home and fixed it. With only few hours left at daylight I went to my local pond and got her with my jack hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoTone Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Been using the Zman razor shad. They last forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oysterk Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Zman products are insane, honestly people should use them for wayyy more than just the TRD ned rigs. The only way I lose Zman plastics is from snags... which still happens a lot haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoTone Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Had less than two hours but it was enough time to take my kayak out to my local Ditch. Caught a few on the jack hammer and this pig on a Zman swim jig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never caught one on a lipless. i have a few and i take a few casts once in a blue moon with them but i never had confidence in them.

Adam Markley Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Weather and quarantine have me not wanting to fish as much. Curious what brand reels you guys prefer. Debating between a Curado k and a tatula sv103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
