also when the water is calm, try a worm (8-10inch). or maybe a lizzard or brush hawg.

BBD · 12-20-10, 09:20 PM

I'll give that a try Bama.

Well guys, I caught this today out of Lake Pearl here in Florida. The scale said 7 and some change but it felt like 8lbs - lol. Maybe I'm off a bit. What do you guys think and do you trust those spring scales? I really need to pick up a digital scale.

My first fish ever this large on that same strike king swim jig (bluegill colored) with a swimming super fluke trailer (Houdini colored). Water temp was 54deg with winds at about 10mph. I yoked it right into a thick patch of lilies on the southwest corner of the lake. Thank god for Braid and Heavy powered rods.

Nice fish man!!! Those swimjigs are awesome!

BBD · 12-20-10, 10:07 PM

Those jigs are gettin it done for me in this cold. MikeS had some luck on a senko a few times today.

Marc David · 12-21-10, 12:05 AM

Congrats man, that fish is a pig

MikeS. · 12-21-10, 12:20 AM

I was there during the catch. Was a nice fat pig.

Tavery5 · 12-21-10, 12:33 AM

nice fish!!!, Mike, I use to live in Myrtle Beach,and Socastee S.C. I miss the low country..

MikeS. · 12-21-10, 11:29 AM

I've been here since 05. I love it!

WatterBoy · 12-21-10, 02:11 PM

Great fish, BBD -- congrats and way to go!

(P.S. - I'd recommend a digital scale, although I've never used a spring scale. I really like the Berkely lip grip scale that I have.)

I just got a few packs of these in the smaller size from TW that I plan on using as swim jig trailers. They are much more compact than Flukes and they look really, really good!

Tavery5 · 12-21-10, 05:54 PM

I like the camo and jackson trout colors.. cool looking baits

BBD · 12-21-10, 06:44 PM

They look good. How's the action?

Jrob78 · 12-21-10, 08:18 PM

I haven't fished them yet, they just came in today. I will let you guys know as soon as I get a chance to test them out.

Tavery5 · 12-21-10, 08:45 PM

what color(s) did you get?

Jrob78 · 12-21-10, 08:50 PM

I got the LT Rainbow 501 and the Green Pumpkin Red. They seem really soft, I think they will have a really good action.

3dkicker · 12-22-10, 12:54 PM

How wide are they? Did you get small ones or the 5"??? Also noticed that they were on sale today for $2.88 per pack of 3.

Jrob78 · 12-22-10, 01:08 PM

I don't have them with me but I would guess they are about 3/4" - 1" wide at the widest point. I did get the smaller ones specifically to use as trailers but I'm thinking about ordering some of the big ones too. The large ones are on sale for $2.88 but come in a 2 pack.
