what are yall throwing?

[childers]

the usuall things i use and tear up the spawners on are not working when i bring them. im thinking of just going to minnows. maybe its just too early still

[JoshKeller]

the fish arent on the beds yet, but once I locate a few, I start with a plastic crawfishon a leadhead, then a lizard, and finally a bluegill colored plastic on a 6" long leader drop shot rig. I drag the weight right into the center of the bed, and can keep it there for 20 minutes if needed.

[childers]

they are starting to get on them here. i dont know about wv but they are beginning here in n. ga

[Chuck7]

Well,for spawning rubber worms or jigs PERIOD..
Pretty much just 6 inch rubber worms..Gamblers and Zoom.
Red Shad,
Electric BLue
and other dark colors

Our spawn is over so I'm back to looking for them

i use a 3/8 ounce Rooster Tail ...to study depth , structure and to get reaction.hits.They do mostly catch snall fish but I've boated many between 3- 6 on them.

I also use crank baits..jerk baits and topwater

BUT when things get boring..I'll get a couple dozen shinersand try to catch a 10 for the wall..

[Austin/WI]

I fish live bait most of the time, regardless of time of year.

[Chuck7]

Can't beat live bait..it pretty much a guarantee here..BUT becasue th etourny doesn't allow it.I'll fish artificial 90% of the time..until I get anxious for a monster bass..or if company shows up and wants a HAWG NOW!! ..then it's shiners.

I've seen about 10 occupied beds so far but they have all been occupied by dinks (1-2lbs) More power to you live bait fishermen but the only time I'll use live/dead bait is for icefishing and the occasional trip north for walleye and perch. Other than that nothing beats catching a lunker on artificial! As for bed fishing I use the exact same tactics as Josh but I usually start with a lizard just because they have worked the best in the past for me.

[childers]

yeah i love to catch the hawgs but that is very rare.

[JoshKeller]

big bait = big fish

[Chuck7]
