Got to make a trip today.

I though of the post "Unlikely Lures" on todays trip. I got to Bill Waller http://www.mdwfp.com/level2/Fisheries/pdf/maps/204.pdf about 7:00 this morning. I went to work on the lily pad field with a horny toad and a Bassassin soft jerkbait. I got nada. I tried a green pumpkin lizard in 8-10' of water and nothing again. I moved to another padfield and threw the Spro frog and jerkbait until I was blue in the face. I started thinking about things, and I thought about the "Unlikely Lures" thread. I tied on a Strike King 3/8 blue/black mini buzz, and bam, 2 lb fish on at 10:00 on the nose. The fish would not hit in the larger pads, I had to find the smaller 4" or so pad fields to get any action. When I would throw the bait, I could see the fish making a wake for it. By 3:00 I only caught the one fish, but I had about 12-15 blow ups. And that is fun in itself to me. Especially for Waller, because I have fished this lake for so many years without nothing, and now I am finally starting to catch stuff, if it is only 1, when others aren't catching anything. But I will find the hot spot one day. If anybody wants to come and show me how to fish it, I will gladly go hahahaha. Back to the pads, I couldn't run a trailer hook for the muck I was throwing in, so I just had to go with what I had. It's hard to think that they would give up a soft jerkbait for the turn and burn of a buzzbait. I need to get a 10:1 reel than brings in 4' per turn because I am give out. I am glad I borrowed my buddy's trolling motor too. The wind shifted out of the SE around dinner, I would still be trying to paddle to the ramp if I wouldn't have. Well I just thought I would share my day with you guys. I got to go back to work tomorrow, so fish can rest for 2 weeks.

Sounds like fun bubba. I used to fish waller as a kid but I aint been there in years.

aikenyounggun · 03-30-09, 08:19 PM

yeah im pretty sure the fish have bedded in MS so the reason the buzzbait works so well is the fish see it as a predator and attack it while guarding there fry... good job on the 2lber tho

Yeah, my wife threw it in my lap, and said you better have paid cash and her eyebrow was hiked. That means trouble on the horizon. I reckon what goes around comes around. Appreciate it though Zooker, gonna find out what it's about in 2 weeks. Time to go back to work.
