Got a Buzz!
Had a friend invite me to go fish a private lake yesterday afternoon. The conditions were optimal for topwater fishing so I tried several different things:
Tried a Pop-R first working it pretty slowly. Got 1 little dink off of this after fishing it about 30 minutes and figures I would try something else. Digging through the box I found a Chartreuse and White buzz bait, It has prolly been about 4-5 years since I threw a buzzbait. WOW! I was getting a bite almost everycast, but being that it has been so long since I fished a buzzbait I missed a lot of hook sets. I caught about 20 fish in about a 2 hour period and had one of the best fishing action in quite a while! |

Learn to rig one properly, check it's alignment between casts, and hook-up ratio will improve...with bass, that is. With women? Well, you're on your own there, bucko! FR |

LMAO at FlyRod. I fish my buzzbaits just fast enough to stay above water right now. Once it gets warmer around here, I will try fishing it faster.

All my hits was just pulling it through the water just enough to keep it bubbling ontop. Biggest I caught was about 3 1/2 lbs, I had one on the line that was actually pulling my drag out a good bit. He never surfaced and when I got him closer to the shore he wrapped around a submerged stump and my bait came out. I really think he would have been my record bass, there has been several 12-13lbers pulled out of that particular lake.
On the trailer hook thing, do I still need to use one if I am not using a trailer? |

on the trailer hook question.....it is not called a trailer hook because you put a trailer on it, it trails the primary hook, so to answer your question yes you can use it without a trailer.....
