We fished for some time, and after I may finally get onto a selected rock I hooked however dropped a bass round a rock on my first solid on the market. I then landed a bass on my second solid, with the considered “what the hell have I been lacking with these Decoy Violence VJ-36 (weedless) jig heads?” operating by my mind with these first two casts after which getting hit a pair extra occasions. The dimensions 3/0 Decoy Violence VJ-36 jig head sits SO completely with the smaller 120 measurement Savage Gear Gravity Stick Paddletail for instance, certainly when I’ve put this weblog put up up I’m going to do some on-line purchasing and get myself some extra of those jig heads. Particularly a number of the lighter ones now that I’ve bought to grips with what these items can do.
Anyway, so these early fish and hits got here from swimming a darker colored paddletail – the khaki Gravity Stick Paddletail – at a reasonably shallow depth. You understand how I really like a white lure numerous the time, however we had overcast skies on Saturday morning, therefore my considering with the darker colored lure. Did it make a distinction? I’ll by no means know, however I caught fish so there needed to have been no less than a tiny little bit of “correctness” to my makes an attempt at considering like a fish!
However then issues went quiet as we moved round and out with the ebbing tide. Andy was additionally fishing a paddletail good and shallow, however we had misplaced the fish and it felt like there must be some extra round with the nice circumstances we had. In some unspecified time in the future into the ebb we started to entry some barely deeper water, so I had a little bit of a assume. I can solid and solid with the perfect of them, however my mind is all the time making an attempt to determine stuff out. It’s why I really like this lure fishing for bass a lot, the way in which it forces us to assume on our ft. Doesn’t all the time work after all, but when we’re not catching fish after they have been round AND we’re each fishing the identical method, certainly it is smart to vary issues up and see if a unique strategy would possibly work?
So I’ve bought barely deeper water, there are good units of waves rolling in however the reef is affording us extra safety as I hoped it’d, and there’s a particular tinge to the water. We’re each swimming paddletails pretty shallow which had labored earlier on, however both we’ve got misplaced the fish or they’re there and we have to change issues up. I hadn’t actually observed that tinge to the water earlier on, I presume it was attributable to the swell. What’s my considering as of late with extra colored water? Get your lure down on the deck if in any respect attainable. I really like a white or chartreuse lure when I’m swimming or twitching one thing shallow in colored water, however I’ve this factor that when I’m bumping stuff alongside the underside, a darker lure makes extra sense. I don’t know if it’s the proper mind-set as such, however it’s labored loads of occasions earlier than.
