brgbassmaster Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Tried a new section of river the other day and we killed it i caught 24 myself. Fishing some seriously gnarly cover. buddy hooked up with 15 but lost all of them. He is learning bass fishing so all he has is super light dropshot rod for bassing. Im teaching him the ways though. Im using a Powell inferno mag heavy frog rod with 65lb power pro. Skip as far under the trees as we can. That is the only way to get bit. River is max 8ft deep and most spots no more than 3. So fish just lay under the trees all day. Such a riot. Best 5 were 3.32 3.28,3.06,2.0,2.5…Buddy lost a few 3s so should have had a bigger bag but no biggie. The cover were fishing 2 Quote
brgbassmaster Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Forgot to mention. Was using spro popping frog in killer gill and spro nasty shad. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted June 15, 2015 Super User Posted June 15, 2015 Dang, I read the title and I thought you caught a 14lb bass.... Still some nice fish though good job! Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 15, 2015 BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 15, 2015 Hey guys, you don't need to poke the hook through the fish. Just slide it up through the gill plate. That way, you won't need to create an infection point in his mouth. Hope that helps! Quote
BASSPATROL247 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I found that using the gill plate gives slightly lower weights than the bottom jaw close to the lip, on some scales ive used... Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted June 15, 2015 Super User Posted June 15, 2015 Nice going! That cover looks great. Quote
