LAST EDITED ON Jul-23-12 AT 10:59AM (MST)[p]Well we went out this weekend and had a blast. I am not a boat owner so all of the fishing I did was from the shore or wading out 30 yds or so. The water where we fished was very shallow, probably 8' deep at 70 yds out.
I was using a St. Croix Mojo Bass rod in med power with a fast action and an Abu Garcia Revo SX reel with 20lb braided line and a 12" steel leader. For the size of fish we caught, this rig was plenty to handle the fish.
I threw a variety of lures including Rapala X-Raps, Sub-Walks, Jointed Shad, DT-4's, Husky Jerks, Rat-l-traps in crawdad color, and even some top water spooks and buzzbaits.
I caught fish on every bait I threw except the buzzbait. The most fun I had was early yesterday morning catching them on the spook, topwater is always exciting but even more so with big aggressive fish.
Here are some pictures, our biggest fish was right at 30". We ended up catching between 15-20 Tigers.
Great Colors
Teeth are no joke
Before Sunrise Action
They seemed more active early in the morning
Fighting one waist deep
One of the baits
My rig
Hunt Hard. Shoot Straight. Kill Clean. Apologize to No One.
