thanks for the help guys im going for catfish, but will be going for bullhead once i come back from this weekend, durand lake is swarming with bullhead

Since bass fishing is closed for a few more weeks was just wondering what you guys are fishing for?

Same thing happened to be i have a lot of 3/8 jigs and cant get a bite on them to save my life, but fish the same waters with a 1/4 or 3/16(strike king bitsy jig) and i can always get a fish, go to dick and pick up some i just did 2 days ago(picked up about 15 jigs)

try standing back on the shore so you cant really see them and they cant see you,(maybe just me but i dont like to cast a shadow on the water, i feel it freaks them out more) when sight fishing i just a jig and cast it about 10-15 feet away from them and slowly creep it in toward them till its about 2-3 feet away and just creep it along the bottom, usally gets a nice strike. is there any wood or logs in the water near them?

i agree with dulouz a spinner bait skirt works a lot better than the hula popper skirt and it pans out a lot better in the water

do you have everything adjusted for the weight of the lure?

While it is uncommon for pythons and boas to lift there head up they sometimes do to see over objects such as somewhat tall grass, if the picture is real it is a large olive python,or a retic, or a very large female burm, anaconda is possible but they are much thicker than that my vote is fake tho

Im going down to my camp this weekend and i know there is some catfish in the lake but i dont know what bait i should try, i know everyone likes the really stinky 5 gallon bucket baits but i live in an apartment so thats out of the question, what other baits should i try and how to set them up thanks for the help tom

yeah tomorrow is going to be nice i hope gunna try long pond and the others near it, just went to durand a little while ago it was so foggy but such a nice sight

thanks jig man yeah i realized the project is going to have to be put on hold since i just got my summer class bill , i might try the pre-made heads to get a feel for it and see how that goes thanks for the help guys

ok thank you for clearing that up im thinking of starting to make my own jigs for the upcoming winter project(need to save up some money for the project lol) How does the copper work? Does it oxidize?

im always looking on the forum, and amazed how much detail and creativity you guys have when making your lures,(put them in a package and put them in a store and i would be buying them) i always see "hand tied" jigs, what does hand tied mean, does it mean someone put the band on them self and not a machine or something else? thanks for the help tom
