when your fillin that tackle box make sure you pick up Zoom super flukes in watermelon seed color.. havent fished for bass anywhere that they wouldnt eat those..they are like a texas rigged worm you just cant go wrong throwin it
That's my all time favorite soft plastic. Still can't top a topwater spook for me though. blup blup blup blup krsplash!!! Gonna have to throw another rod in the truck now. 😀
Yeah, we used to catch a lot of bass on plastic worms, but it just wasn't nearly the same as having one hit a topwater popper or a buzzbait.
It's been well over 30 years, but I can still see and hear the lake disappearing into the massive mouth of my brother's second bass! She was 12 pounds even, and had a huge head. He was using a KMart ripoff of the Hula Popper, on a little South Bend spinner with 8lb mono. My dad had bought us each one of those little spinner outfits at a flea market for like $5 ea. I had caught 6 or 7 nice little bass around 3-4 pounds that morning, brother hadn't caught a thing when he threw up next to a log I had just finished casting to. He popped that thing a couple of times and WHOOOOOSH! We had been living in Lake City for about 2 weeks, still staying at the Holiday Inn off I-75 while they closed on a house for us to move into. Man, the things that catching a couple little bass will make you remember!
I have to get a camera in the truck so I'll be ready for the big one!
all i fish is retention ponds for bass.. HUGE bass in them.
I did all that back down there. used to catch monsters in neighborhoods, people would come walking outta their houses in complete shock 😆
From the time I could cast a rod and walk to a pond I caught a lot of bass in small ponds in Pinellas Park.Getting my license at 16 opened up a whole new world of fishing for me,traveling to south St.Pete and salt water fishing to Northern Pinellas.Best fishing ever was hopping over the fence and fishing the Wells Bros lake on 118th.Nvere did get a bass over 8 lbs but have caught a few that size.
