CJ WATER TEMPS AND FISHING THREAD!

[INTIMIDATOR]

Had a few people unsure about Chatterbaits and how to fish the craws on topwater for Bass.

Chatterbaits are just abnoxious blade baits, that vibrate so much they rattle your pole and make all kinds of noise coming thru the water...add a thumping swimbait, and you are guaranteed to attract and piss off any Bass in the area....they just can't help themselves, it makes them so mad, they have to kill it...and these are the most brutal strikes you can get...I've fished these things since the late 80's and they are my favorite night time Bass lure.
You can fish it at any depth and any speed...I like the Kaotik brand because you can fish them slow and keep it in the strike zones longer at night...and they are super obnoxious!
They work on Smallies and Largemouth.

The craws are fantastic on the surface with a bare EWG 3/0 Trokar.
I like the Trokar hooks because they don't break under pressure and I don't think I have ever lost a fish with them....and they are sharp...most of the night bites are extremely violent and you really don't have a chance to set the hook, or you'll pull it out..normally they hook themselves if you use a super sharp hook, and you can just concentrate on keeping tension on them.
Once you cast it out and it hits the water, just slowly start reeling, it comes to the surface, and flaps like it's crazy...hince the name!
😆
I never use any other color at night for Bass, except black, or black and blue...it silhouettes perfectly against water and the dark sky. They can see it well on the surface or in the water.

Night Bass fishing is a whole different experience, they are in full feeding and killing mode...it's loud, harsh, nasty, and exciting! And with it being dark YOUR senses are heightened also...what a rush!

Good Fishing!
