I'd rather catch the pretty green ones but today at Utah lake the white bass were on fire. I must have caught atleast 70 with up to five fish on five casts, awesome! I only had one walleye, just a dink.
All bass were caught on one of TD's sickle hook leadheads (I need some more by the way $$[
]) with a 2" green twister. The carp were splashing everywhere and I managed to play with a couple of whoppers. Ugly as hell but what a fight!
The bass were pretty tight to the reeds but some were scattered, anywhere there was seperate clumps of reeds off the shore seemed to hold fish. My second pole almost became a hassle as the kitties were pretty active. All fish were released.
And a little off the subject, I lost a couple jigs due to my knot slipping. I was using 10# braided line and reeled in a carp but lost my jig to a white bass. I know the knot thing is getting old but I don't know why it slipped. I've always used the traditional wrap around 8 times and through the bottom loop, is there a better knot for braided line?
