Super User A-Jay Posted October 27, 2014 Super User Posted October 27, 2014 Got out yesterday; conditions were marginal with a brisk NW wind. Water clarity was still very good which always bodes well. The approach on this day was three fold, blade baits, followed by blade baits & then you guessed it, more blade baits. I got into the smallies right off (first cast) and it was a steady bite all afternoon. Never got that 5 plus this lake often gives up however this was the best numbers day I’ve had here all season; not uncommon for the fall. Ended by being a 40 plus fish day (when you throw in the dozen & a half walleye). I switched back & forth between silver & gold baits ~ silver buddies, Buckeye Jiggin Blades and the Damiki Vault were all sharing the work load. Might be the last day out this season; if so, it was a good one to go out on. A-Jay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDfJQjacSYE 5 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted October 28, 2014 Author Super User Posted October 28, 2014 I'm going to have to figure out how to fish one of those dang things, never caught anything but a handful of white bass on them. Looks cold!! THE BEST retrieve (if you can call it that) with a blade bait 99% of the time is a very small hop of the bait with the bait resting on the bottom between hops. The water temps often dictate how long the pause is - sort of like jerk bait fishing. The fish will pick this up off the bottom - so at least half the strikes you never feel - they are just there on the next hop. This video is excellent.
