Caught my PB smallmouth today…fishing the upper end of lake where I normally only catch Largemouth. 3lb smally…SMH strikes again!

Well, I started out trying new techniques…but had to bring out the SMH with ChiggerCraw to get some bites…found my personal best flathead in the process. I have never fished a shakeyhead before this season and now the SMH has become my confidence bait.

Found A few of the best largemouth I’ve caught at my home lake on Sunday. SMH head with a powerbait 4 inch chigger craw. I did some experimentation by putting on a shaky head worm…. fished the same areas with one pole picked up the other with the craw on the SMH head and caught bass. Don’t know if it was color or action or smell… crawl works and worm hasn’t both using the same 3/16 ounce SMH head.

Went out on Sunday and picked up a crank bait… Nothing… so I picked up a shaky head… nothing… so I picked up a 1/2oz chatterbait… Nothing. So, I sat down, drank a diet Pepsi, and tied on a Zman 1/4 oz MicroMax chatterbait, white and chartreuse with a 3.5in spunk Shad trailer. I have to say I really enjoyed the feel on the retrieve and how easy it was to work it slow or fast in water up to 15 feet deep and around cover without getting snagged. It reminded me of a willow vibe, but with more control and the ability to imply, erratic action without going too fast. I found four like this one before I went home. I appreciate all the advice from the SUF family and the confidence to just keep trying new things until something works.

Spent two hours in one Cove without a bite… Moved to Rocky Bank with an SMH head and this beautiful 4 inch crawl… caught five Smalley’s inside an hour…loving the SMH

I finally got to go fishing this weekend… And I decided to try something completely new. I watched Blat catch so many on the SMH that I tried it out for myself. Second cast was a catfish… But I caught a few bass later on. Really enjoyed the technique and will use it often. It was the only thing I had any luck on in that super Clearwater. It was a weird day… Never saw so many schools of 6 to 12 inch gizzard shad around the boat… it almost looked like a school of tuna on the side imaging when they went by lol… anyway great video Blat on the SMH!
