The Bruiser and my buddy Harlan put a bashin' on the bass today. We started out about 9 and fished until 1 and boated 55-60 bass, with 31 keepers (I will post pics later for the regular roasting from the CnR buffs). I picked up a worm a couple of times, but all of my fish came on a red shad Bass Assassin 5" jerk bait and the Yo-Zooker (A Yo-zuri crank I got from Zook) in like a chrome/gold-green back). We patterned the fish on the edge of the pads with the BA in 4-6 FOW. And we just moseyed out with them into deeper water as the day progressed where they stayed suspended at about 6-8'. I caught the biggest, I would say a bump over 3 in the pads with a explosive blowup. But it took a round 2 to get the hook up. But the best one of the day was when I chunked the BA in an alley in the pads. I gave it a couple of twitches and I saw the back of the fish just break the surface of the water, she remained still, but it looked like a pit bull raising his hair before pouncing. I just held my breath wanting to snatch and she nailed it. It was an awesome day to say the least. Now I am a die hard Zoom man, but I have one tip of advice. If you can pick a Bass Assassin over a fluke, do it. IMO they just down right out fish the fluke hands down.
