Nice 6#er love the way she took the bait perfect for the photo op, nice hat and love the the Dobyns rod label too. Funny how some guys post pics on the forum, some in the photo section and some not at all.

Nice Bait Placement....this is a totally promoted shot, there is no way that fish ate the bait like that...BAH HA

Nice fish, I have been throwing my mini cracker last month, but it was a little early...this lil guy moves big water and makes a great blue gil poping sound. I cant wait to catch my first Lil Cracker fish.

by the way for all you haters the first sentence is a call back from about a year ago, so relax....

Mike · Post by **Mike** » Sat Mar 27, 2010 7:49 am

You guys got me

It was only a 2 pounder and I did place the bait for that photo. Here is the action photo. Just trying to give you all a hot tip. So what if it is one of my sponsors. If their baits didn't work, I wouldn't have them as a sponsor. I only take on company's that I use and believe in.

RichThiel · Post by **RichThiel** » Sat Mar 27, 2010 8:23 am

Mike is right it does work, better than a buzzbait or a frick'n frog...been catching them on it for the last couple of weeks. Stunt or not Im with Mike. 2lb'er 12lb'er whatever it flat catches them with a good hook up ratio.

Beat the hxxl out of any frog ratio.

Mike, show the next biggee with it down the throat...I'll I will...The delta rats know what will work.

Got myself some O.G. Floating Red Eared Loving yesterday as well !

After I trailored the boat already even !

You really do not want to know where I launched from --- and ran to .... Then back and Way wayyyyy West ~ boating only for myself yesterday.............. But is was dayum near a Jackson @ the end the day for the Linesiders -- But I was up past bouy 54 on the Sac River by 5-8 miles for sun-up ....... Then ended out in Honker Bay of all places for the day in the afternoon-- For NADA

(Silly Full Moon !

)

Could not really tell if it was a spawned out Female - or a really good looking Male ~~ But it had ALOT of scratches on it's head alone.

You can fish like a jitterbug or burn it and bump it off wood. Youll get smoked. Keep chucking it, let the bass tell you what they want. If you are not getting bit, mix up retrieves. When you find out what they want they choke it.

Take out just a mini cracker rod and force yourself to fall in love. Fish it all day until you get the toilet bowl, once you do, you are done. This bait is going to smoke them from here on out until fall rolls around. Its a small enough bait to where it will produce numbers as well as toads. If you enjoy fishing shallow this is a must have.

I was using the reg. on the Delta and ghost on lakes. That is until I saw the red one! I will have that on until post spawn. When they start guarding fry, they will kill the bluegill one again!

So using the red until post spawn and then using the bluegill after will also work on reservoirs or would it be better to just stick with the bluegill on reservoirs?

I would stick with the ghost on a clear water reservoir. That is until he puts up the char/white ones he is painting

On a long cast and cranking them down, you can get them about 4'
