First...a good tip..yesterday was a new moon..
FISH WERE BITING very good today.. boated 8 and saw some nice swirls..All 8 were caught on a Boyou Weedless Spinnerbait...biggest just under 3..

Broke my line on a jig fish..and don't know why..I think it's the rod..MH Lightning rods are too thick compared to others..This same line reeled in a huge gator last week..I saw the fish because after she broke she jumped out of the water to spit the jig..She was 3 pounds maybe..I tie the Palamar knot with a 1/2 inch of line sticking out..confused..
I normally use a pull set ..today I used a quick set as most do with jig fishing..I will not use that rod any more for jigging..Actually I tied the spinner on and it did very well with that set up.

sounds like a planits raining here so no fishin this weekend[&:]what is your take on "fluke"s chuck??I only carry my top shelf lures in my tackle bag..I have flukes in them because some trusted pros I know say they work..I've never had one hit on them..but these pros are good so I will continue to try them ..Jigs are also slow for me but they do work..BUT like this morning..if the fish are biting ..and they certainly was this morning..use a lure where you can cover alot of water fast..I tied on a Boyou White Weedless Spinner 1/4 ounce and it was fun..until the wind went from 0 to 20 pus..Then I would anchor on a weedy island and spin the grass around it..that worked too.


i bought some the other day and hooked them up...i think my hookers are too small haha but when do they work best??how to reel them in?? etc...i hear great things about them haha

I'm not the best guy for this question for I haven't even caught a fish on them..but most I talked too..hook them like a Texas Worm..the fluke has a built in grove..this is where your hook ends up..You can actually see the barb but it's weedless because it's in the grovve of the rubber..Most around here pinch a BB split shot about 12" above the fluke. So the fluke is twitching and darting on the bottom. SInce the fish were bitin ggood today.. Ishould have tied one on..but the spinner bait was working so I didn't fix it.
I also raise rabbits to produce a good harvest of red worms..Last year I had a few hundred..I took some this morning to look for some red ears..I have 1000s of chunky red worms..I didn't catch any red ears though but the bass were on.Mental note...New moon fishing is HOT
