This one thought he was a RockStar!!
Got out on the radioactive mudhole and thought I'd play with a couple baits and one of C-rigs latest. Caught one on the Magic Swimmer and a Senko type bait but figured I'd see what the RockStar would produce. Added a 3" Chigger craw in GP and played with the bluegill for a little bit. Finally pulled a keeper that went 13-14". Moved to another dock in another cove and found a better fish, 2.5+, on the new Senko rig I was taught a couple weeks back. Good thing I was using braid cuz this one sucked the bait off the surface as I was attempting to bring the bait up and over a bolt that the line crossed on the cast under the dock.
Got a 3 hour night tournament that I'm fishing tonight on the lake!! |

Tournament results
Got out and headed for the three areas that were loaded with the 13-14" fish thinking I'd pick a couple up before heading to the big fish spot. Hit two of them and - nothing!!! Even got yelled at by some a*#hole about his cove being "no wake". Sorry but the lake is owned by the power company and they are the only people that can make any part of the lake "No Wake". The cove is not.
I move on and hit a 3.5 in the exact spot I found the 2.5 the day before and caught it on the same rig. This "wacky" Senko rig I learned is paying off with quality fish!!!! Except that I'm losing rigs due to the O-ring being too big. Fixed that problem this morning as I stopped in to the local hardware store and exchanged the rings for smaller ones. This time I tested them out on the Senko's in front of the store owner. He was curious about what I was doing . Didn't do so hot with only one fish weighed in. Took 19+ to win Me thinks some cheatin' is going on!!! Here's the photo with a some props to Bama who hasn't been out in a while. Grew the scruff in his honor!! Even threw in a couple grey hairs to make him feel better!! |

great to hear that the RockStar got you some bites, that is a fish catching machine. kinda suprised that you opted for the chigger craw as a trailer though because i know that you love beaver type baits that smallie beavers are a great trailer for that jig. anyways great pics and sorry for the tough tourney, hang in there.

Played with it before with the smallie beaver you sent with it and didn't get any bites on it. Got in some 3" Chigger craws (should have ordered the 4") and they matched up nicely with it so I thought I'd test it out. Probably work with either trailer.
