if you enjoy large amoutnts of large panfish pay a visit to grand prarie park in albany. last time we caught 20 pumkinseed over 6 inches. take a size 12 single hook (preferably debarbed, becaus if u dont ull spend more time unhooking fish than fishing) tie it on. JUST THE HOOK NOTHING ELSE, NO SWIVEL, NO BOBBER, NO WHEIGHT, NO NUTHIN!!! Then take a piece of power bait corn, bite or cut it in half, put it on the hook and make likre ur fly fishing. flip it out, watch it sink , and see a i ton blugill or 'seed :shock: make a lunch out of it. :dance:
what pound test line are you using?
So I just spent more time drowning worms this weekend than ever before and I've learned a new to me tip/trick, and it's simply that circle hooks help with hook-ups over a similar sized J-hook when the fish are otherwise too small for the hook but biting aggressively.
beetle spins also catch fish at Grand Prarie. we caught some bass and cats there last time. i watched as my dad hauled a 1 pound bluegill out from under the tree near the dam. i caught one bigger than that 15 minutes later. to give you an idea, take a nice, big pancake. then imagine that it is made out of very slimy, very pissed off muscle that is threatening to yank you off the bank. i be danged if there isn't a record in that pond. my pond!
I have a 2 inch rapala, and I can't seem to cast it (I only tried with friends rod. not own)... How does one cast virtually nothing?My son and I have also caught monster bass and crappie on beetle spins and tiny mr.twister curley tails in Lamberts slough and Hagg Lake Smallies love em too. At Hagg off the dam we like to use the tiny floating rapalas #3 in silver and black or the tiny Storm grasshopper poppers, just pitch and twitch, gotta love those topwater strikes. Have had bluegill hit them so hard the lure flies a foot in the air then to have a largemouth slam it when it hits the water again. What a Rush !!! When EE Wilson weeds up we take gills on Patzkies n bobber like they are half starved.
