I still had a chinese tire on the right side and my spare as well. Marathons coming before next trip. As the tire blew up, my truck jerked, so I looked out the right mirror, and sheets of rubber were flying everywhere. It was a site to be seen, let me tell you. Wound up bending my rim. It took out 2 side marker lights and rolled my fender where it rubbed the tire. Had to go on the old Breaux Bridge highway. It blew out at the perfect time. Right before I got on the Atchafalaya Basin bridge. A lot better before than on the bridge.



Still caught some fish. Wound up with 15 sacs, 20 total. Sorry, no pics. Fished South Bigeaux, caught on both sides. All fish caught on a Strike King Shad Pole in the smokey shad color tipped with berkley gulp waxies. They were grabbing on a lot of time by just the waxie and stealing it. I might have to try some gulp jigs. I gave up on nibblets a while back. The gulp waxies or maggots stay on so much better, work just as good or better in my opinion, and I change it after 10 minutes if I haven't lost it.

May pop.:Rofl

Sorry to hear about the tire but glad no harm done to you.

Marathons are now made in China. Look at the Maxxis 8008 ST trailer tire. Have to order them online but they are are much better tire.

I almost left when the clouds came over, but they went away. At least in Bigeaux.

Good catch, bad luck on the tire though.

Good catch Mike, thx for report.....didn't know they had Gulp crappie jigs....I heard the speckled trout love the Gulp shrimp

Yep, me too, sorry to hear about the tire, but glad it didn't cause any major damage. And, you still went out and caught a good mess of fish. My hat is off to you, sir. Congratulations!

Boy Howdey on the fish

I need to get some good Maxxis on my teardrop camper since I pull far and fast. Those waxies and maggots I use for bream all the time.. tip a small jig with one, and catch both bream and sacs. I would think that's bream stealing yours?... a friend let's his dry out just a bit, once hooked on they catch many fish before rebait.

It was just on this trip they were stealing them like that and when I would rebait and throw in the same spot, out came a sacalait. Maybe the bream were getting the sacs fired up, not sure.

I've been a scent junkie lately. Ordered some fle fly bubble gum scent online. I thought it was a strange flavor, but so is coffee and garlic, in my opinion. Heard it works really well and stays on the bait a long time.
