crunch time!

Featured Replies

When its crunch time and money is on the line and your livewell is looking mighty thin What do you grab to save the day?  

I find the nearest docks and chuck a 3" grub around or if too weedy a texas rigged tube jig. This seems to always produce a few fish for me.

For me i break out the flipping stick. If im just looking for some quick bites i might pitch a fry or senko but if i am needing weight i flip a jig. I feel that i up my chances to catch a bigger fish with a jig and when my livewell is running  thin one fish may make the difference.

i also jump on some docks for most lakes. The tournaments i fish are mainly ono lakes between 1500-300 acres, most are closing to the 1500 range. when we have up to 50 boat tournaments most of the obvious spots like docks get nailed many times by the end of the day. so if i have to resort to docks, which i dont like to do, i downsize and use something most people havent used. i go places i dont think other people, or at as many people have gone. like going to the backside of a large dock system and just fishing different parts.

i like centepedes or smaller versions of senkos, somtimes i throw a bitsy jig from strike king.
