Pretty much the exact same thing I've experienced this year. I've had a 6th Sense Catwalk tied on all summer since they first came out and have no idea how many fish I've caught on that thing. I've caught a lot of largemouth on a frog, and I've done pretty well on a popper this year also. Both a buzzbait and ploppers have been pretty lackluster in production and it hasn't been for lack of trying.

Absolutely, I caught one on Thursday about 430am blind casting a weedline. The bait just quit buzzing and got heavy. For me, there's little better than a good walking bait bite (well, maybe a steady flipping bite) and I think it's getting to be about that time on our little lakes as we get to fall.

Care to share the color you've had most success with? Or is that top secret....

What about double bladed buzzbaits?

Personally, Ive never liked them.  That second blade can really hurt casting distance and accuracy.  If one blade gets jammed up it throws everything out of whack.  If you want more commotion and sound it may be the way to go

Love those cavitrons when you can find them.   TW just got some and I loaded up.  

I don't go thru many cavis.  All but 1 that ive bent from swinging fish in the boat, on the bank or over dock railings have straightened out and run good.  Sometimes I throw booyahs with a smaller blade for a different look.  Ive worn a bunch of them out.

I never tried one 

I've heard the cavitrons are ok...if you decide to finally get a buzzbait you may wanna consider them?

I still haven't tried one. 

Buzzbaits are my favorite . I like the high hookuip percentage over what I get with a toad . Just havent been able to throw one much because of algae .

I've gotten bites on buzzbaits, but I have done WAY better with walking baits, poppers, wakebaits and whopper ploppers. I think it must be regional as that's the consensus up North, but down south they work better. Go figure. 

I really like buzz-baites at first light, and towards end of the day. Chuck-it and reel...bass blow it up! Usually run white or white/chart, no trailer.  

Fall is my favorite time to throw buzzbaits . The bite may last all day . Just put the trolling motor down and start fishing . I go up the creeks and strive to make good cast . Always cast with a purpose , even if its just casting at a seemingly insignificant spot at the shoreline . Make sidearm cast , dont let the bait sink . Set the hook when you feel the fish , not when a bass nails it , which is easier said than done .  Its easy fishing and so much fun .
