Went to my favorite fishing hole this morning.
Made about 100 casts and had a nice big bluegill on about every cast.
I think there were six casts that I didn't reel in a fish.
The #1 best lure (as always) was a 1" micro crawfish.
The #2 lure was a Trout Magnet Bison.
What a fun morning... PM me if you want to go fishing.
Ok, more info...please...Quote:

Mister Twister micro crawfish... order from the factory.
They are tiny and fragile, the fish tear them up pretty quick.
Best plastic lure I've tried in 60-years of bluegill fishing.
Better than crickets.... just kidding.

I must say, I only do catch and release fishing. I hardly ever keep some to eat.
Here's some more micro craws that may be just as good as the Mr Twister, but I haven't tried them yet. They are cheaper.

Gotta love it, congrats!
Sounds like alot of fun. What part of Alabama are you in?
Nice catch and post.
Central part of the state.
Good job! Glad to hear that you are back out after them again!
You put them on a 1/64 trout magnet head under a float ?Quote:

no float, just a 1/32 or 1/50 jig head with 2 or 4 pound line.
It won't cast very far, but with a fish every cast.... I don't care.
I've used the natural and the LA craw. Can't tell which one works better yet.
These fish were 8 to 10"... a good cloudy day to be on the water.
I forgot to say... it all comes down to the color of water you have and what colors the fish prefer.
Where I fish, the water is a nice light green color and that's the colors that work for me.
On my next order, I will buy all four colors. I like to make about 25 casts, then change color to see what happens.
Grizzly jigs is a little cheaper than the Factory :Quote:

The Factory jacks up shipping cost every time you add a pack, Grizzly jigs doesn't.
Good to know... thanks
Are you casting and retrieving it straight back , or are you slowly hopping it on the bottom?Quote:

Slowly hopping a jig means 30' in three minutes to me. Many can't fish that slow.
Come on over and let's go catch some fish.
So,you're kinda dragging it on the bottom ?Quote:
