Well did just enough reno's over the weekend to have the warden give me a few hours of outdoor time. Now when I say warden I mean the most loving caring person in my life...my wife

Got out for about 3 hours and in after thought only needed the last 40 minutes...So we launched the boat at my regular quick fish day spot...Appleton! Got on the water and dragged the slop with Buzzbaits in black, black yellow, yellow, orange, yellow orange and some inbetween. Got lot's of boils but no hookups....so frogs it is...tossed the same assorted variety as the buzzbaits with the same return on our investment....nada. Wait is that a blow up...nope just a beaver going for the frog!!

. Did not set the hook in time and away it goes. Well anyway we tossed our arsenal of go to lures at these guys and finally about 2 hours into it I get a LM bass...all 4oz of it. Got it on a crankbait bringing it in from 4ft to the edge of the dropoff at 20ft. what a fight and unfortunatly I lost grip of the behemoth and he went back in before a pic could be taken

. Well fish....fish and more fish and nothing to show for it. " Well " I said to my buddy..."Let's try ole faithful for some small bass or pike to make the trip worth while. So off we treck back down the river and into "Ole Faithful". Since nothing else worked we decided to try something new. It is this style of fishing called wacky style. Not sure if any of you have heard of it before

. Well anyway it is now in the good ole go to lures for sure. Who would have thought that a simple hook and rubber worm would produce these boys...Why did someone not tell me about this set up before
One of my 3 nice bass
And another one
My buddies PB
His cover mag shot cause I like them so much
And about 15 minutes later his new PB again. No scale but 20" and a huge girth on it...No nickle but we like to think so
So off I go to purchase some of these rubber worm things and hooks. So if you need help with this style of fishing it is real difficult to get into and would not even attempt to try it...Especially in my spots!!

Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....
It's much more important.
