9/29 Viking 9/30 Anita, 17.83lb

[Redog]

I got of work a little early Friday and hit Viking. Started 1pm and fished till 6:30. It was very windy and hot! Pretty much fished a bladed jig and had 2 keepers and probably 10-12ish fish total. Today 30th for on Anita stared 6ish very dark but I’m an early riser lol. Tried a top water on some flats nothing there. Moved to some scattered rocks and got a few on the sq-bill. The wind was making it tough.. moved on to the normal Anita stuff but nothing really going… oh but then I found something I have never done and had luck at Anita with. For the next hour I was catching them cast after cast. Nothing really big but 3’s and some 3 1/2lb was crazy fun best 5 was 17.83.. my best day this year at Anita!! I’m not sure if I learned something I can use at other lake? Maybe.. I have 2 day off this week and am going to fish as much as I can hopefully 3 days 👍

Congrats on a good day catchin. You know you gotta spill the beans on the new bait/technique now right?

[Redog]

Lol!! So not really a new bait to me, most serious bass fishermen have this bait.(at least this style, probably not this brand though) Here’s a tip. I bought it in the ozarks, it cost $30, you got to have the right rod and reel to do it right…. Any body got a guess?
I think it might surprise you guys If I tell you.

[Redog]

Nobody has a guess what bait it was? Lol if one person guess I’ll post a picture on the bait that was so good that morning.

Swim bait

Pretty good guess and I’ve got lots of those and had some good catches but Saturday it was…….. A megabass Big M 7.5 deep diving crank bait. Really crazy I have never had a 18ft deep bite this good, really opened my eyes that I might need to do a few things differently in the next few weeks to see if it happens again.
For some reason I can’t post a picture of the bait on bbc right now?

[Redog]

I figured out how to post pictures again. I said I would post a picture of the magic bait and here it is. Sorry it’s late.

Damn, love my megabass but that’s pricy for a 25 foot crank. Probably blow out my elbow cranking that!

[Redog]

It is one of the easiest Crankbait to pull. Very tight wobble.

And yeah at $29 bucks they will make you cry when you lose them!!

Its not the price of the crankbait that makes me cringe, its the $400 I'd have to spend for the new combo to throw it. . .
