Grubbin'

3dkicker · 12-21-11, 03:45 PM

Got out with the Major over the weekend on the radiated mudhole. Started off slow but hooked up with a Bama bass on a tried and true Yummymoto.

Headed up lake and found warmer water and a bunch of baitfish. The bait like to hang out around the bridges on this lake...and so do the bass. The marina that we launched from was having a big bass contest for the month. At first I thought it might be close (it wasn't).....4lbs 5oz was leading.

Caught another chunk off the same sea wall but not as big as the previous fish. Still a nice fish to get a photo with.

That was it for the day. Made a run down to clearer and warmer water but I couldn't get bit. I was working a crankbait through a channel while the Major was casting off the front. I heard something slap the Major's jacket and I looked up to see this.....

Of course he blamed the spinning reel he was using but he was lucky it hit his back and not his head!!! Hooks came out easily and we went back to fishing. Hit a couple areas and the Major finally hooked up with his only fish of the day on a Red Eye. No pics taken.....wasn't big enough

Great day on the water.

Looks like fun.
Curiousity, were you grubbing because of water temp or is it just a favorite?

Water temps were between 49 and 52 degrees. I was expecting colder or below 45. I was pretty sure the grubs would produce in the colder water. I've caught bass in the summer on the grubs so I was pretty confident that they'd work. Plus I've caught catfish, bluegill, and crappie on the grubs as well so they increased my odds of catching something....

I don't throw jerkbaits so it must have been someone else that hit the Major. And since it was only the two of us in the boat it must have been him.
