Buzzbait Madness

Featured Replies

Well went out to a pond this morning with a buddy, got there about 7:20am. Got the canoe out and first cast into a fallen tree with the buzzbait and a fish explodes out of the water. She misses it but about 10 feet later comes up and hammers it again...nice fish on! She was about 3 lbs or so, and the action started. The wind made it tough in a canoe with only one paddle...but boy was it fun. We caught 25-30 fish between the 2 of us and all but 2 of them were over 2 lbs, I didnt catch one under 2.5. Had 3 doubles, all nice fish...and had a crazy ordeal. My buddy hooked a nice fish in the shallow end, fought it for maybe 15 seconds before it came unbuttoned. I cast out to the same place not expecting a bite, and right at the canoe where this fish got off it errupts from the water inhaling my buzzbait while crashing into the side of the canoe   I freaked out, fought her for about a minute after she made a good run, then landed her. She was the biggest at 20.5" although the pictures dont do any of the fish justice. All healthy fish and alot of missed bites and lost fish. After the topwater bite died I tried a worm, a tube, a creature, no bites. Regardless it was some of the heaviest and highest quality buzzbait action I have been on. Here are a few pics of some of the fish, we should of taken more pics but it was hurry up release the fish and catch another  :o

Congrats! Buzzbaits are alot of fun! I'm jealous!

Love any topwater action, tried it at my pond over the weekend and didn't get much topwater, may have started to late didn't hit the water till 8:00 but the last time was there the topwater bite didn't start till around 8:30 after I got there at 7:00, oh well just have to start goin early no matter what.

that looks like great bass water

It is the quality of fish is awesome for this area.  It has a ton of big fallen trees, 50 foot ones that are bigger than you could reach around.  Had a lot of duckweed but the buzzbait worked right through that.  We did not pattern fish at all as they were biting everywhere, in the trees, under the duckweed, in the shallow coves...it was one of the most violent topwater bites I have ever seen and I can wait to go again, but earlier.  :)

Fished a friend's mother's pond today and the buzzbait bite was on, too.

It was a lot of fun so I know what you enjoyed.

I only caught 10 but it was a fun time for two hours.

And by the way, they were also not interested in a Senko or Zoom finesse worm or a spinnerbait.

I did nail one on a Mann's Minus 1; but all others were caught on buzzbaits.

Super photos.  

Thanks for sharing.

Great pics Corey  8-) I know you had a great time with that bite  ;)
