There's probably about a million things that can be done to try and catch some good fish. Let's toss some ideas around here so that some people who have little fishing experience can cut the learning curve in half.

JP, I'm gonna guess that a flappin shad is like a Berkley Jerk Shad that I used to catch this big boy just outside this creek in the main part of the lake (Little Gull Lake). You can read about it in the Large Ones of Little Gull...http://www.fish-hawk.net/hawkshow/Littl ... l_gull.htmJP wrote:I would throw a scum frog like a frogzilla out on the grass and pads and wait for a big slurp or spash!!!Also can flip the pads with a 3 1/2" tube and pop it along the base of some pads. Or my favorite thing is throw a flappin shad out just on the edge of the cover and twitch it slowly back to the boat. And of course u have to use scent.
Good fishin
Oh, I wouldn't look at this as a challenge - I look at this as trying to deliver in a fun and informative way, exactly what you, BigJoe2, said you wanted in the way of a tip. And look what you're getting? If we insert a few pics of tackle, like a jointed rap, someone from Mars would be able to follow the conversation and learn from it.BigJoe2 wrote:Does the Hawk ever run out of challenges? No! Now we're separating the boys from the men. Me, I would do one of two things, throw out a jointed Rapala with a nice easy slow return, or hook up a chub on about 18 inches of slack and sit back and light up a stogie. Ok, I would have a cigar in both scenarios!BigJoe.
For sure - if you don't like to rig a weedless slug of some sort, you don't know what you're missing. You ever try the pink ones? I think pink was a good colour last summer, one I never used at all. But I saw a lot of guys saying they were catching piles of fish with pink worms and slugs. I like black and smoke slugs the most, but carry blue, brown, yellow, green, purple, indigo, fuscia...slimer wrote:I'd have one rod with a spinnerbait rigged and ready, but my first cast would be a big white slugo, don't know why but they work like crazy for me almost every time.
