I did the member challenge and reported in the member challenge board but i wanted to show some of the pics i took because i was in a photographer mood today.

I got off work a little early and got the C-rig gear ready:

I hit the little private lake and fished this little cove:

And my first ever C-rig fish:

And the next lunker:

No lunkers today but i had a good time and gained some confidence with the C-rig. I may actually tie it on and get something other than a jig wet this weekend when i go to my honey hole.

good luck, not to big but there bass right.

I'm sure you'll get some lunkers soon!

Congrats Andrew. There's nothing better than gaining confidence with a new rig. You wasted no time in taking up the challenge. Good luck at your honey hole!

I know C-riggers catch Bass but there's just too much terminal tackle for my tastes :-?.

I completely understand what you are saying, and I felt the same way until now. I fished a c-rigged baby brush hog the last two days and yesterday i had minimal success...as photographed. But today i had 35 mile an hour winds in my face, cold as H*%# outside and caught 4 fish on the c-rig. I fished other techniques such as a jig-n-pig(which is my primary confidence bait now) and slowly fishing t-rigs and I honestly felt I was going to catch nothing. I tied on the c-rig and had success. Maybe it was just the timing but I honestly feel the c-rig, out of any other technique i've learned and tried yet, has been the most beneficial addition to my repitoire. So maybe next time you are at walmart you do what i did and instead of buying the new rapala, spend that 5 dollars on the necessities for carolina rigging and give it a try, I am sure glad i did.
