Went fishing this saturday for about five hours. I was throwing a zoom fluke and absolutely tore their heads off. I am guessing that I caught around 60-70 Bass. The smallmouth are getting ready to spawn and were hanging out, eating around the edges of flats. My best day ever on the water. Rained on me the whole time and they were just killing that lure. Hope your fishing trips are as good as this one. BTW it was only me so that will tell you just how good it was.

That sounds like an awesome trip...congrats.

60-70bass! get on em man! congrats

60-70??!!! NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CATCHING!!!

Good greif!! What a day! I hope to get one of those sometime this season!

I did the exact same thing last year about this time on bull shoals. Fewer fish but if you can catch em getting ready to spawn and see em chasing the baitfish on the top ol flukey will wear em out. It was the pearl white color. Also if you dont know how to rig one be sure and stick the hook barely under the back skin of the lure to one side or the other. Gives it a little more action. Also would reccommend fluorocarbon line if your using a limber pole. With the mono i seem to lose more fish on the hookset. You need it to hook up when you set the hook. Later, Clint

Sounds like a busy day, bet the arms were tired.  Thanks for the tips also.

Yeah the shoulders were about to give out. I was using my chronarch mg reel and a carrot stick rod. This combo weighs under 10 ounces. thats the only thing that saved me from being crippled. haha.
