Wow! 49, only time I see that around here is the walk-in beer cooler at 7-11. It was 80 here this morning.

    Creatures seem to work best here shallow too, docks are good too. I use a little of weight as possible to have a slow erratic sink, sometimes weightless depending on the bait.

 

They still have 7-11’s?? Think Minnesota lost the last one in the 80s good memories

My takeaway is that I am so far behind the BR crew in using the many baits. You not only have favorite creature baits, you have lists of favorites in specific colors. And here I was proud to be trying a creature bait for my first time. Sigh. Fingers crossed I catch one. I'm rigged and ready, but only have 1.5 hours to fish due to other commitments. Off I go!

Never used the mag game hog, but the standard sizes are great.  I much prefer over a brushhog jr, the size is perfect and I think the plastic higher quality.

What a fish, @bottom_dollar!

Most of the time around here the bass will bite craws better than creatures, but a creature will work if the conditions are right. Earlier this year when we had high water from all the rain, a Texas rigged Super Hog fished in the flooded grass was the ticket.

I can’t catch a thing on the little one and gave them all away. 

Me, if I gave away all the baits I can't catch bass on.
