RE: NICE FISH JOSH!!!!!!!!!
 
no trying to steal your techniques or anything but how are you fishing with that big of lizard??? are you carolina rigging them on the bottom or what??? i've never been much of a soft bait fisherman but i'm always trying to learn.

RE: NICE FISH JOSH!!!!!!!!!
 
carolina rigged. 50 lb braid main line, 16 lb triple fish leader, 3/4 oz sinker. cast it out, let it sink the the bottom, and just drag the sinker a foot or so each time. Its a great way to fish sandy windblown points at spawning time.

As to what attractant I use on the lizards.. thats my secret, but readily available. Look for the stuff thats $15 a 2 oz tube.:D

Josh are you using those big lizards for bait or conking them in the head. 15" that is bigger than most of our bass.:D

Josh if your fishing in tournaments with that kind of pay off you really are a pro. First ,a fisherman has to win quite few regular tournaments to even qualify to fish one like that.
Josh ..you wouldn't be using Carolina Lunker Sauce would ya??

JoshKeller 03-07-2006 02:35 PM

RE: NICE FISH JOSH!!!!!!!!!
 
nope, not carolina lunker sauce. try megastrike sometime ;)

Also, Chuck, all of the b.a.s.s. opens are either 50 or 75,000, and they are open to almost anyone. They just cost a good bit to enter.

Thanks for the tip Josh. Do ya have any tips on catching bass that refuse to bite because of a cold front. I saw bedding fish yester evening and I quietly tossed my worm on their beds. I fished spinner baits ot the suspended fish I saw suspended on my fish finder..NOTHING. Any tips for that sceneria. Also BASS pro does not carry your attractent. but Cabelas does.

Cold fronts and beds.. tough fishing.. BUT you can catch 'em still ;) Get yourself some spider jigs (the ones that have a tube body with arms on the front, and some 8 - 10" swim baits. I cast up on the bank if I can, and slowly work the lure into the water and when it gets on the bed kill it...Just let it lay there for up to 2 or 3 minutes.

Another good way is to use a drop **** rig with a weighed soft plastic jerkbait and a 1/2 ounce sinker on the bottom. Cast out a good ways past the bed, then slowly drag it along until you get close. Then kill the jerkbait into the bed. If you use a LIGHT weight on the jerkbait, you can lift and lower it in the bed, without moving the heavier drop shot weight. I've done this for up to 15 minutes before the bass finally took.

That a really good deal on that megastrike. I just ordered 5 more tubes - I originally bought 7 or 8 about5 years ago from dick's sporting goods and it was around $15 atube.
