5-12 largie

20.25 smallie summer lean girl @3.57 but I caught a 19.50” this spring that had to be close to 5. Smallies are all over the place in weight here.

Ohio. It’s a struggle. lol

There’s no rules to this. Only suggestions. Hunted down a nice hybrid fishing eddies adjacent to white water on the river. The water was dirty so I chose a chatterbait. Not your typical “striped bass family” of baits. Predators just need to “see” the presentation. Sometimes vibration helps. . Wading is a form of bank fishing and can be extremely productive right now. If you’ve got hybrids around you go give em a shot. They’re heating up while the other black bass species can be difficult this time of the year. This almost 22” 4 1/2 pounder was a pb for me. Man do they fight! Especially in the current. Tight lines! 🎣

Caught a handful of pond bass on the minimax the other day in span of 100 degree days we had. Water temp is up and so is the bass’ metabolism.

Glad to hear you’re on the up 💪🏽☝🏽. Would love to come on the live if you need some more people

Been a great way to not have to throw a ned around. Up shallow just barely picking it till it starts to vibrate and then letting it sit has gotten bites. I never really threw it that much for fear of being too snaggy with the trebles. Worth breaking a few off that’s for sure. It’s also been a great compliment to a jerkbait. To be quite honest in situations where I should get bit on the jerkbait, the blade bait has been shining. Just ripping it over aggressively through the school or about the middle of the water column never letting it hit the bottom, but letting it fall a few feet down has been the best way so far. Pretty remarkable. Hopefully it keeps the winter exciting lol.

Blade baits. 

Anyone on SUF have experience throwing them around? This time of year I’m learning they can be very effective. What retrieves or technique do you implement while throwing them? 🤔
