preach4bass Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I fish a pond in our community a few times a week for bass, but never fish for anything else. Today I decided to go there and catch a few catfish for supper. I was using a bottom rig with chicken hotdogs. But I ran into a slight problem. I couldn't catch catfish for all the stinking bass hitting my bait! The bass in the pond are finnished spawning, and have moved out deeper (where the catfish were supposed to be). I caught between 15-20 bass. One was about 4.5lbs., two were over 5, and one about 6.5!!! There were a pile in the 2.5-3lb. range. The nicest bag of bass I've ever caught was somewhere between 18-19 pounds. I was close to 25 today! It was awesome. I did catch three nice cats and ate one for supper, but it was nasty. The nice bag of bass saved the day! Quote

So did you use the hot dogs like a jerkbait with a twitch- twitch- pause across points or did you just reel them like a swimbait over the grass.....or were they carolina rigged on humps? Wacky rigged & skipped under docks? Give up the technique preach! Quote

Cigarlover 1 Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Mabye Gary Yamamoto should add chicken hotdog as one of his senko colors. ;D Quote
