Bass Rutten Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Anyone fish the clermont chain on the regular? Me and a friend fished Mineola Sunday from 8-3 and caught 3 total fish, tough day. Water viz ranged from about 1-4 foot visibility, light winds, weather was nice though, recreational traffic was actually fairly light. My only catch was on a berkley frittside 5 jr crank, missed a few others with it, and also missed a massive blowup skimming a swimjig over some emergent grass. My buddy got 2 on a senko, one was a chunky 4 pounder. Could use a little direction, we're headed back this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC53 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Haven’t fished Clermont chain in decades. Used to fish it quite a bit back then. Had one tournament in the summer and a guy caught a 12.5 throwing a worm to the base of the cypress trees in lake Louisa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Rutten Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Put in another 8 hours on Minneloa and Minnehaha this last Sunday, she’s being real stingy, I caught 2, partner skunked. My first came a shakey head, second came on a weightless trick worm. Partners only strike came on a frog. Water’s high and on the clear side with about 3-4 feet of visibility, dark tannic colored. Light winds and high temp was 90 with high humidity. Kind of miserable but it sure beats working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My partner is pretty good with a speed worm, I never could gain any confidence in it. He doesn't seem to swim it like most do. Got any tips?

Sethshaun Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 it's good lure. it goes anywhere and it has vibration and it's not scary. I use the smaller one not the magnum. all the normal stuff. flip it in the grass. drag it on the bottom. hop it, swim it and twitch it keep moving until you find a dumb one because you know they're looking at it. sometimes I let it sit on the bottom for 20 seconds in a good spot. I buy those super cheap teeny tiny glass rattles off Amazon and smoosh them in there or switch to a neko rig it's good for covering lots of water and its a vertical presentation if they don't want the swimming thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
