Rudy1922 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 It was a nice 66 degree day here in Ca. so I went fishing after work, I'm glad I did. I threw my Dobyns DX744C with a Shimano Chronarch CI4+ (30 lbs braid with 10 lbs leader) in the back of my truck and drove to the lake. I was using a Siebert Outdoors Dredge Football 3/8 oz jig (Whisky Craw) with a Watermelon Seed Baby Brush Hog trailer that had some Mega Strike on it. I didn't catch anything big but what I did catch the CI4+ handled with ease. The Dredge Jig has a great hook!!! When you hook a bass they stay hooked. Anyway, here's some pics. First Bass of the year!! 2.9 lbs. Small one 1.5 lbs. 2.46 lbs. another small one 1.45 lbs 2 Quote
Preytorien Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Nice fish. If the ice here in Indiana would ever thaw I could get out and put my Dredge Jigs to good use. At this rate it'll be May before I can get out! Quote

Super User MarkH024 Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 Good fish! Great start to your season. Way 2 go! Quote
Rudy1922 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 The Bass here are targeting Crawdads right now but that could change tomorrow!! LOL. I'm stuck on the bank until the water warms up and then I can try out my new Kayak. I really like the hook on the Dredge Jig and it's the only jig I use now. I'm just hopping the jigs along the rocky bottom.They didn't like the Baby Brush hog on this day but they started hitting it when I switched to a Rage Craw. I was using a PB & J jig with a Falcon Lake Craw Rage Craw and a Blue Craw jig with a Blue Craw Rage Craw. On this day they liked the Jika Rig with a Green Pumpkin Rage Craw. Quote
