Super User .dsaavedra. Posted April 18, 2008 Author Super User Posted April 18, 2008 I'm gonna go ahead and catch the flame for this one but, have you ever tried a rooster tail on that pond? I find that when you just don't know what the hell to throw you will ALWAYS get bit on a rooster tail. Go with a bigger size so you discourage all but the bruiser bream and crappie. Went to Guntersville Lake last week for a conference and couldn't get bit on anything I took. Nearly threw in a buddy of mine for raping the bass with a tiny chartreuse rooster tail! I hate those baits as I feel like it's akin to using a snoopy rod and a worm, but the dang things just work! dont be ashamed at all!!!! i happen to dislike rooster tails in particular (cant ever get em to spin) but i LOVE LOVE LOVE blue fox vibrax minnow spins. i have caught countless bass, bluegill, and crappie on them. i have a few in every color and size. i may just bring my ultralite and fish the biggest size i have. how great would it be to land a 5 pound plus bass on an ultralite w/ 6lb test!!! well im going fishing tomorrow and i will try these suggestions and let you know how things went.

lookatmybass Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I would try rubber worms in the shallows. Ive had excellent luck with "french fry worms". If you see alot of other people fishing the lake it may just be over fished. My best advice would be to ask other fisherman on the lake what they are using. Keep track of what they tell you. And never use a lure that is on that list. You want to find something new that the bass don't see as often. Quote
