Super User Dwight Hottle Posted July 13, 2015 Super User Posted July 13, 2015 Looks like a nice HH fish. Hawgtech & Huddleston. WTG Wayne. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted July 13, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 13, 2015 Ok, ok... There's a particular spot where I've been bit before and the general area has given up a few good fish. It's a shallow shelf in about 4 FOW, steps down to ~11FOW with access to 22 FOW within 15 yards. There is sparse vegetation, about a 8" diameter log and good sized chunk rock all in the same location. I made a long cast, parallel to the 11' step and bumped the bait back to me. It hung on the log, popped it free. It hung up in weeds, popped it free. I crawled it almost the whole way back to the boat and popped free of the last patch of weeds. The fish ate the bait about a rod length away from the boat. My buddy was quick with the net and landed her pretty easily. She had both the jig hook and stinger stuck in the roof of the mouth. 76 degree water Low Down Custom Production XH Daiwa Lexa w/ Hawgtech 102mm and Winn knobs 20lb cxx Sheetz MTO ham sub Walmart bottled water Green underwear (I think) Beard That should cover it. 13 Quote

Super User MIbassyaker Posted July 14, 2015 Super User Posted July 14, 2015 Beard Do you think the length of the beard matters? Seems like the longer ones would have better action, but might get hung up more often. 1 Quote
boostr Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 That's a piggn'... You using a surf casting rod now to catch the pigs... that's a whole lot of handle on that rod. Quote

einscodek Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Good to see the 8" Hudd works in the dead of summer I've not yet gotten bit in dead summer hot weather on the larger Hudds yet but this is a good indication Quote
thomas15 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 This thread is the additional encouragement I've been looking for to master swimbaits. And I'm gonna do just that, right after I master spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, topwaters, plastics, jugs and crankbaits. 1 Quote
