6 lb bass

[Paulpro]

Imilly,I can't wait to see what you catch,I want to help.I would say try a rapalla "floating" minnow,bk/gold around 2"1/2 and get the biggest with two trebble hooks,I pinch the barbs down on even most my lures,be carefull,they are very sharp,"ouch"[#8000ff]pinching barbs[/#8000ff] also makes it easier to unhook.Start with small lures to help you land a fish quicker.In shallow areas use the bannana lure.I recommend the smallest size,zarra puppy.Get also a deep diver,let the current take as you slowly twich it back in.On the rapallas I sometimes remove the lip of the lure to make it more topwater,or rig it backwards by taking off the back hooks and put in front,then tie line to back instead,this will keep it on the surface .If there are lizzards you can try 4" zoom in a dark color,I use light line 4to 6 superline,and a 1/32ounce split shot,or with no weight.Also Twirl tail worms from Luck "e" strike,6"size 1 worm hook for extra finess,use along with same bullet weight.I caught my only 2 bass for today on them bk,pink tail,a rapalla is said to catch all species of gamefish.You can use up to 10lb mono,or braided line.I like to get the popper in the smallest size,only bad thig is that the trebbles get hooked to each other.I take off the rings and tie each hook directly to the eye using some heavy braided line,this shortens the distance between the hooks just enough,a minor design flaw with the small rebel popper.So..... "are you a popper or a princess"Also try for catfish,use hotdog pieces,throw some in an hour at least before you fish,you can try for them in the early afternoon,if you don't like to fish at night,if you can't catch anything,well I saved a spot for you on "my boat".
