Guest avid Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Hey Dan, Nice fish. You have a very cool assortment of Japanese imports. I see your pond is sorta brown around the edges. You having a drought up in Georgia like we're having in FLA? Quote
edbassmaster Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 When I go out with my wifes uncle, he will use a zara spook all day long with clear skies and do pretty good. I dont have the patience for topwater. Nice fish ya got there!! Quote
Lightninrod Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 Thanks Ed. Yes Avid, we're in a hard drought with water-use restrictions. Those two ponds stay pretty stable/level as the smaller one has water being pumped into it 24/7 while the larger(where I use my boat) pond is creek and spring-fed. Nobody noticed that unusual topwater bait.... :-? It's a Slide Jack. Dan Quote
Super User T-rig Posted April 30, 2007 Super User Posted April 30, 2007 Nice fish like allways Dan! Quote
Pond Hopper Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Some more nice fish...and I was wondering what you were talking about when you said wacky rigged topwater, made me scratch my head a little. Still a little confused about the bait but it catches fish. Corey Quote

Still a little confused about the bait but it catches fish. Corey Corey: Yes, it's a very different bait. You tie to an eye right behind the front half of the bait. There is an eye on both side. Depending on which side you tie to, the bait tracks to the left or to the right on its retrieve. I haven't done it but I can see where you could get it to 'slide' under a dock for instance. Dan Quote
Super User T-rig Posted May 1, 2007 Super User Posted May 1, 2007 There is another similar bait: Deps Killer Compas Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted May 1, 2007 Super User Posted May 1, 2007 Nice fish, awesome tackle! Quote
