• Best bite of the Year ?

    Some might argue that the best bite is this time of year or that .
    Some say the fall bite
    Some swear by the winter bite
    Some swear it's the spring fling
    I tend to think that if you stand the heat in the kitchen
    Then the best of the best ketchn is the summer bite ....
    of course you got to find them
    and be able to tell if it's a bite as well
    but to be VERY sure , I got bit at least 50 or more pitches in a row the other day
    and the fish were not all potato chips either
    then we move onto the it's only a minnow bite
    and the etc. etc. etc.
    mind you this , the key is knowing if it's actually a bite ....
    seen it over and over on LS , crappie in the summer often times swim up to it
    and never actually "bite" the jig , they already have it in their mouth and folks never realize it ....
    hawkeye that line yawl , never mind the scope when they approach the jig and the same goes for them there blind ketchn fools like me and ....
    .... mind you this part carefully folks
    individual results may vary quite widely ....
    particulars are as follows , only in the shade , only on the fall , 12 foot of water , only on jigs , 5 pm to 7 pm and hot as fire outside even in the shade , bait had to be pitched out and falling back to ya ....
    KABOOM
    p.s. thats a 100 in the box in 2 hours ,,,,,
    AND everything that was really little or really big got set free

      I personally enjoy spring and fall fishing the most. Catch the most during summer but they are usually all smaller. Catch the largest in winter. But I enjoy them all. KABOOM!

      I enjoy pulling cranks year round but it is fun in the spring and fall trying to catch some under a float.

      The heat here in Southeran Louisiana is brutal once you add in the 75 to 95% humidity. Heat index’s in the 110 range is the norm. However, I agree that summer fishing for Sacalait is great. If you find them and they are feeding it’s a BLAST!!!
      There seems to be no need to get on the water till 830 or 9 am because they don’t start grouping up at recruiting spots till the sun is beating down. Here, by noon, it’s usually so hot one needs to call it a day.
      If you find them and they are cooperative it doesn’t take long to catch a nice mess of slabs.

      Stay hydrated and ice them down good.

      BON TEMPS!!

      You always post on time. Ultra lite bites last trip out for me. I have to go back to my lightest braid as when using a 14ft BGJP with 6# mono you just can't tell if you were feeling a tick or not. P-Nut has found a really good 6# braid, very fine diameter, I'm going to get some from him to try. Using micro jigs to boot, seems they are wanting a small offering.
