Long time no see

Hey everyone! I've been super busy doing reviews on lures and trying out different techniques to show you guys. One of the new baits I've been trying out this Summer is the spinnerbait but not just any spinnerbait, the new innovative Death Shimmer by Law Lures.

Check out this video by Field and Stream and go get your Death Shimmer at www.deathshimmer.com.


I've seen guys catch 8 lb largemouth on these lures!

Creme craw

Went fishing earlier and rigged up a Same Thing green pumpkin red flake craw on a 3/16 oz war eagle jig head.

I tossed the lure around some submerged trees and instantly caught this bass!

If you want to catch relatively big bass, rig up one of these and fish it around structure. It's best if you use a baitcaster or a spinning reel with braided line. I used a spinning reel with 100% Berkley Vanish flourocarbon.

The shakey head worm

I know I have done posts on this before but one of the best ways to catch bass, either largemouth or spotted bass, is on the shakey head rigged worm. As all of you know I fish from the banks so I don't fish like most others do from a boat letting the bait come from the shallows to the boat.

I have a few different types of shakey heads. I typically use a 3/16 oz but I also use a 1/4 at times on more finesse worms.

I either use zoom trick worms in white, green pumpkin, black, or hologram morning dawn in a roboworm for 1/4 oz.

These are my selection of shakey head hooks.


Below is my HBT Shakey Head in green pumpkin color 3/16 oz.


This is my black 1/4 oz Spot Remover brand shakey head hook. As you can see, all you have to do to rig this is press the head of the worm into the screw and then insert the hook to make the worm straight. Just as below with my Hologram Morning Dawn Roboworm.


Here is my Zoom Trick Worm in Green Pumpkin rigged up on a War Eagle 3/16 oz shakey head rig. This particular shakey head rig stands straight up so the tail sways in the current right in the bass' face.



This is my Hologram Morning Dawn Roboworm rigged on my 1/4 oz Spot Remover. I wouldn't use a 3/16 oz on this worm because the weight would not create a good presentation and it would just lie on the bottom instead of standing straight up.

Lipless crank for winter bass

Went out this morning on lake Lanier. Water temp was still pretty cold since it has been raining here for the past few days. The outside temp was great for fishing though. It was around 60 with very light to no wind at all.

I rigged up my cotton Cornell lipless crankbait at first with no success. I then rigged up my new bass pro shop tourney series lipless crankbait in this bluefin shad color with the bleeding bottom. I cast it out a few times with no luck and almost attempted to give up. I then said a little prayer and cast it out once more really hoping it would work this time or I was going home.

This time I didn't work the bait like a normal crankbait. I thought we'll since the water temp is cold I will try and work this like a plastic worm dragging it across the lake bottom. Apparently that got the bass' attention because he engulfed it and I set the hook. He fought really hard but it was worth it. Check out the pictures. Keep fishing big and have a great day!
