    Default Report:12 Fish Inspired by Bayoucrappie


    Went to Lake Arthur today for 12 and will have to say that Bayoucrappie gets some of the credit by hyping up the cork fishing in a phone conversation we had. I wanted to fish my normal favorite tight line, but only managed 3 and couldn't stop thinking try under a cork. Caught the other 9 3' under the cork with Poppa Chop and OCR trailers.

    Had 8 caught and was heading in and gave them to a guy with only 2. He was happy and I told him I would try a few minutes more doing catch and release.

    The next fish was 15" and just couldn't throw him back so there were 4 fish for a friend at the boat landing. Really a fun day after the fog cleared and the wind laid down.

    Hey Bayoucrappie if you ever get a pic of that jig rescue device I would like to see it.

    Fixed. The little red and white with a red peg. Probably should have trimmed it as it wouldn't hardly get off of flat with that light jig.

    Very good report. Congratulations on figuring out what they wanted and in having fun catching them. Plus the fun of giving them away. I would say, all in all a great day on the water.
    The Lord is good. His mercy and love endures forever.

    Use a size bb weight. Put it about 3-4" above the jig. It gives the jig more action and makes the cork stand straight up that's how I fish mine. I see you liking them trailer. Have you seen some of the new colors

    I carry some split shot just for that, but never seem to remember. Got about 5 different colors of the trailer. Just using one pack at a time starting with the Chartreuse. I don't have any science to prove it yet, but I feel like they really help.
