Caught this donk on a BassMooch black and blue metal head!!!
PB 8.6lbs
New lake, it's cold, a brisk wind, and a day of dinks!!. I went here with the mindset of gluing a jerkbait in my hands ( a technique I am just not good at ) for the time I was there and after catching a few, seeing and graphing what was in there, I went back to the truck, got the ultra light out thinking they are bluegill or crappies I was seeing blow up all over the place and its just all these little bass.. Wowzers!!
My pics are not impressive, but it was a good day. Lots of firsts, and lots of wins. I caught 4 on 2 lures/rigs I have never used. Got to use my dry suit as well. It's the bomb!!!! The crappie love my jerk bait!! Are non-bass pics allowed? 😆 But a little context here. I watched a video from BLat on jerkbaits. Prior to today, the only thing I had caught on a jerk bait was the back side of my tricept in Aug 2026. That was an experience.... I cringe whenever he talks about the pliers vs rubber band thing.... so I see the ripples in the water, and the wind kicking up. I pull that thing out. I caught two crappie. Its a WIN, I'll take it!!
Spinnerbaits have been working very well here in the NY. Water temps in the mid 50s. I’ve been running it parallel with the bank but out where it starts dropping off. Found a 5lb LM on a tree out at the drop off. Haven’t had any luck around docks in probably 4-6 weeks.
UPDATE: Small delay on emails. I am currently awaiting confirmation on a few things. I should have those out tomorrow!
🏆Congratulations to all the Fall Big Bass Challenge winners! Ya'll really showed up and showed out. 🤙🏽Information on your prizes are scheduled to be emailed tomorrow,
so be sure to keep an eye out. Congrats again SUFam! 🎉🥳
My dad always taught me that if you take care of something, itll take care of you.. itll last.. 3 months of being in rivers and lakes almost daily, 10 or 12 hours a day, and it still looks like it did when I picked it up.... only better.!
Applied everything I’ve learned in here and came up on some PBs today. Shad colored Lipless crankbait on both of these🎣
