I'm headed to KY lake next weekend...........I armed the boat today.Originally Posted by Basshunter82
1). Red Eye Shad - I will be throwing the crap out of this. Especially if I find schools of fish running baitfish. If I'm picking up smaller fish, then I will slow it down.....or switch to something deeper.
2). Bomber 200 thru 500 series - I love bomber crankbaits. I have two different ones tied onto two rods. a 300 and an 500 series. These are great for those deeper balls of shad, where the whites and yellows are SCREWING with ya.
3). Spinnerbait - In this case, I'm using a hopped up rocket shad. Nothing is like the packaged JUNK you get. I change the hook and skirt, and put on a bigger blade or a willow leaf.
4). Swimbait - Yea. a BIG Hammer swimbait. I love those......and in the fall, when they are chasing shad, there is nothing better.
5). Shaky Head - If things get tough and they are not chasing, a shaky head will put fish in the boat, padding the numbers, and every once in a while, it puts BIG fish in the boat.
6). Texas rigged Worm - A texas rig is always required. I use it in place of the shaky if they are not so skittish.
7). Jig - I always keep a jig tied on. If you miss a fish with a shaky or a crankbait, or Trap, you can usually go back to the same spot and stick it with the jig. Not always, but sometimes.
8). Sammy - I will have a Sammy tied on for early and late. I will only throw this if it is overcast and rainy, or first light for 2 hrs, and at dusk until complete DARKNESS. That early morning bite is stellar. 2 weeks ago, I pounded some fish on the Sammy.
Man, I'm DYING..........
Later,
Geo
