Went out to the Coosa River yesterday morning to field test the little Squid. We launched the boat at the landing about a mile from the dam on Lake Neely Henry on the Coosa River The dam was pulling current snad the water flow was really fast so I knew slip float presentations would not work, We anchored near one of the bridges for shade and began to test that little squid. Most times I sprayed it with YUM attractand and other times I used a crappie nibble on it. I fished the vertical presentation set up I use when fishing minnows and just substituted the plastic squid for the minnow. (See drawings) We fished about 8" off the bottom in about 10 feet of water.
The spotted bass and channel cats just kept knocking the slobberknocking beeheuzits out of that little squid. All in all we fished about two hours. Caught 15 spotted bass on the squid and four channel catfish. Most of the spotted bass were about 11-13 inch size and the channel cats were a bit larger. All in all I would have to say that the little squid will attract and trigger fish into biting.
