Hes a better man then me ive been in for 3yrs and i wouldnt wanna be a grunt they do to much stuff in the field and are always busy. Linesider do you have any tips for me this wkend with cats and bass. Hopefully this isnt my last trip down there but if it is it would be great to catch some fish. Thanks for the help and tell your son oooooorahhhhh.

Good deal! The best time to catch everyone together is from 3pm till launch and from pm til the end.

All I do is Striper, but I can tell you I have been catching LM and Blue Cats on Alewives from 10-20 ft deep over open water. Hope this helps

What is a alewives never heard that before and also what baits worked for you.

Types of forage bait in our area lakes are Gizzard Shad, Alewives, Threadfin and Bluebacks. They are all members of the Herring family. All I use is live bait. My days of chunking and winding bits of plastic, feathers, rubber, lead and metal are long gone! Even if I see them bustin' I throw them a piece of meat!

Thanks I appreciate it. Where the bass you were catching very big??????

you need to talk to toby buddy
