Try downsizing and fishing slower You might also try the backs of cuts and fish the main creek channels

A hula grub is a double tail grub with a half skirt soddered on the head is all. double tail grub, hula grubs and garlands are all considered a spider jig. spider jigs are the #1 jig for us structure fisherman here in the west. Theres nothing better then fishing a 1 ounce yamamoto spiderjig 35-50' on some main lake structure when you need to win a tourny

Deepest I have caught bass here in Arizona is around 100 feet of water spooning and dropshotting. We catch alot of our fish in the winter and summer in the 50-70 ft range. There is a easier way to fizz your fish just take a fizz needle stick it down there throat between there crunchers and depress on the stomach. you will hear the air coming out of them . its also smart to throw them back right away or put them in the live well with the please release me now treatment to insure they dont go into shock. there is another way and thats to barely hook them under the mouth with a big jig and let the jig take them down to 30+ foot of water them give the rod a fast snap ripping the hook put of there skin . hey it works. probaly around 80% of the fish I catch are deeper than 30 ft and I have not lost to many fish in tournaments since I fizz my fish right away and use additives such as please release me now and if its in the summer time I keep lots of ice with me to keep them cool intellI can weigh them in

I fish them alot when Iam fishing the Lakes in Mexico and have done really good on them.

Winter= Yamamoto Jig 8) Spring= Yamamoto Jig 8) Summer= Yamamoto Jig 8) Fall = Yamamoto Jig 8)

sure a little scent helps to cover up the scent from your hands and it makes them hold on to the bait a little longer if there picky

I have used Yamamoto baits since they first came out. I have won alot of money using them and caught alot of Bigbass here in Arizona on them. I have tried others wannabe baits and they just don't work as well as Yamamoto baits do. When it comes to tourny fishing only a yamamoto bait will be on my hook.

what I do is after I spot the fish I back off and throw a weightless worm and let the wind or current take the worm to the fish. dropshotting small robo worms also works good in this situation

I use the cul m rite scale set up with the colored floats .

they have been on beds here in az since febuary in a few of our lakes. We can catch bed fish from feb thru end of june here, just depends on what lake we go to.

For rough water I don't think a champion can be beat. Choose a boat that will suit your needs for you. I run alot of big rough water so I baught a champion.

I like and run nothing but a ChampioN.

when your a pro bass fisherman it's all about exposure and he does a great job at it. A few of my buddies have been his non boater and they say he is a very cool guy. yeah he is hyper and screams alot but oh well his sponsors sure don't mind one bit now do they .

another thing a bite will feel like is if you just snagged a wet wash rag. if your worm feels a bit heavier set the hook . you can also hold the line between your fingers to help feel a bite.

I admit it, I love to bed fish. I alway release them right away though. I don't care to bed fish in a tourny but if theres some good money on the line I will stick a few if there good enough.

I like long narrow main lake points that have a few cut up secondaries on them and run out a long way with lots of deep water access

I fish out my 20' champion bass boat most of the time . I still like to walk the banks though when just fun fishing here and there.

only times I have ever deep hooked a bass I was using a senco and not paying attention to my line. I have had them suck a 1 oz jig pretty far down but not as far as the gullet. and it was safely removed.

1/2 to 1.5 oz football head yamamoto jigs , 1 oz spoons and if the bite is tough dropshotting. Also never rule out the good old westy worm.

bigger fish relate more to deep water structure. or near deep water access.

when water drops it usually causes the bass to move to off shore structure and the out sides of points. try dropshotting ,splitshotting and dragging a westy worm up structure.
