Guist Creek Tournament

[clintcone]

I had a grn pumpkin jig tied on with a Baby Paca Craw of the same color... I just never used it because I was catching decent fish on that brush hog.

I wonder if switching to that Jig would have yielded even better bites.


Hind-sight being 20/20, I should have picked it up and gone back through the same territory. Oh well, I was happy with my day. Since it was my first day on that lake this year, I was expecting to struggle.

im pretty excited about that paca craw... My cuz was using it untill he went through the whole bag in about an hour.. he had alot of bites on it... wont happen again though, he bought about 8 bags this mornin.. I think we are going this afternoon and in the mornin...I bought some river side baits this mornin at back waters that looks just like the baby brush hog but with hands, like thier lizards have,, cant wait to try that one. I always free the little arms on the brush hog from the side of the body, and tear the ribbon tails off anyways, so this one looks promising.

After hearing you got lots of bites on that jig, I'm wishin I had picked it up more and more.

Maybe I'll have to try to get back out there next weekend to try it. My wife will shoot me if I do it... but maybe I can talk her into coming with me.


on that Paca Craw, were you dipping the claws in chartreuse dye? My last T on Barkley, that was our best bait, but they had to have the yellow dipped claws.

no we werent dipping them. never thought about it, so consistent we didnt change it. will try it though. were using the 1/8 ounce bitsy jigs in a similar color..

[clintcone]

Yeah... I wasn't dipping my plastics, even though I usually do. maybe Guist bass prefer not to have day-glo bright yellow on their food
