While everyone else on the lake was up flippin shallow timber, I decided to fish a shallow flat that drops down to an old roadbed in about 15 feet of water.  I caught six total this morning, all on a LC Pointer78sp in Ghost Minnow.  This one was the biggest, I did not put it on the scale but it was 21 inches long and I guess around 4-4.5 lbs.  I have never had a bass attack my bait like this.  After the cast I made two twitches and this fish SMASHED that Pointer!!  It was a nice fight as well being a long cast and a ML rod.  Was alot of fun!

Nice Fish.

You did something different and it paid off.

Yeah, and from what I have seen on the water and read in the local forum, nobody is catching much in the timber, especially for bigger fish.  The turnament they had last week only took 8lbs to win.  I probably had almost that much with three fish this morning!

hey nice fish, can i ask you how you fished the pointer? I use it a lot during the winter here  with a slow cadence and it really works good but i've not tried it in warm water.

Fish = Impressive.

But, I like the hat just as much!!! ;D

The lc pointer strikes again. Congrats on figuring it out.

Thanks, this was my first attempt this weekend at jerkbaits.  I got a couple pointers to get me started.  They have produced very well, I will be getting more, gotta have all those pretty colors!

Come on, I can't be the only person that read the title of the thread and snickered.

Nice lookin fish, Red.  I've really started to appreciate jerkbaits this year.
