basshole8190 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I went out yesterday and found a slew way back in the north end of the lake and it was flooded grass and pads and weeds everywhere. i pickked up my 6'8" mh and started pitching i caught 12 3+lbers in 15 pitches and i don't even know how many smaller fish . i felt like ish monroe on the delta i don't think i made a single overhand cast all day. man pitching is so addicting. Almost feels like hand. to hand combat. The rush of a perfectly placed pitch and seeing the grass move then that THUMP! man got my heart racing just thinking about it lol. Quote

Quillback Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Can you please post GPS coordinates? I agree, pitching is fun. 1 Quote
RyneB Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 you're going to be like my buddy. He will pitch at a piece of cover for an hour if I let him. That's all he wants to do, but I'm the opposite. I have to be chucking and winding. I do pitch, but its definitely not my favorite way to fish. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 2, 2013 Global Moderator Posted September 2, 2013 I'd much rather pitch than cast also, probably because it's target fishing and usually involves stout gear. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted September 2, 2013 Global Moderator Posted September 2, 2013 When I'm by myself or with friends just putzing around thats all I do.. "Almost feels like hand to hand combat" pretty much sum's it up for me too. Fishing tournaments down here in Florida most every boater will end up fippin and pitchin at some part of the day also. Because of that most of my equipment is pretty much all Heavy and Med Heavy rated. Mike Quote
5fishlimit Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 From shore I cast. From the boat I pitch/flip. Quote
mnbassman23 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I became addicted to pitching jigs around shallow cover 5-6 years ago and to this day it's still by far my favorite way to fish. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 2, 2013 Super User Posted September 2, 2013 I'm addicted to it too. I get out in the front yard and practice all the time. I get bored easily and it passes the time. Quote

Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted September 2, 2013 Super User Posted September 2, 2013 That's a great Day man! Pitching is awesome I typical pitch after I pitch haha. I'm a baseball player so my arm gets sore and that's the only way I can fish... Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Pitchin is very fun but my local lakes have no vegetation whatsoever so i don't get to pitch often.. My favorite technique is small t-rigs and 1/4 oz jigs. Love the hard hooks sets 1 Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 3, 2013 Super User Posted September 3, 2013 Glad I'm not the only one... Lol. At first my neighbors would look at me funny, but now they wave and go about their business. I've had two come over and ask me how to pitch jigs. Quote
