Bassin101 Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 In Feb I asked the forum "if you had to start the day with three baits what would they be?" Worms were #1, Spinners #2, cranks#3. I never fished a lot with spinners, I have a few, so based on your input I walked to the lake with a black with a silver Colorado blade. The day was dark, overcast, and windy. Casted parallel to bank as Roadwarrior suggested in "pond fishing" caught my first two bass on spinnerbaits...yippee ;D Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 9, 2005 Super User Posted March 9, 2005 Good for you! What about the cranks and worms? Quote
Bassin101 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Posted March 9, 2005 Roadwarrior, the wind was howlling that evening. I was happy to be able to throw the SB. I do however want to take your other tid bit of advice on pond fishing and that is fish the worms without any weight. I catch bass regularily on a Kalin grub on a jighead near docks and pontoon boats. it will be interesting to see how they react to a softer landing Quote
clooney Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Congrats bassin! Do you throw buzzbaits much? Always fun! Quote
Bassin101 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Posted March 9, 2005 I caught 1 bass on a yellow BuzzB from the dock last year. Twas fun. I tried it the same night/eve I fished the spinner, but no luck. It was choppy so I thought it might work. Question: I noticed that the BB makes a slurp...slurp...slurp sound as I reel,. Is that OK or should it be a smooth gurgling sound? How fast should I reel it? I'm thinking just enough to keep it on top. All tips appreciated. ;D Quote
clooney Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I think you can slow roll buzzers just below the surface to burning them very fast. Just depends on how your particular fish react I guess. You can also bend the blades to make them run at different speeds. Slurp slurp? Mine always seem to have a pretty steady buzzing sound, so I'm not too sure about that!? Maybe someone else can help us with that? Quote
Bassin101 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Posted March 9, 2005 Has anyone ever fished a spinner by tapping it on the bottom during the retreive? Quote
