Bald Knob Shell Cracker

Had a great afternoon at Bald Knob Lake. Boated around 50 shell cracker along with a few bluegill. Used the Abu Garcia 62UL Diplomat Extreme…..Daiwa Ballistic FW 1000 reel spooled with VARIVAS ES2 Lemoni Ester line in 2.3# test. Jig head was Daiwa SS 1.5 gram with #8 hook. The lure of course was a Trout Magnet in either a Sow Bug or Bison color. This setup gives me more fun than the law allows[emoji23]. Fished in comfort out of my Alweld Outlaw Invader from Mighty White Marine. This boat has some serious fishing mojo! Life is good!

Good looking shell cracker. Nice job. Thanks for sharing

Awesome! Love them crackers!

Good looking fish. Is this the boat you were talking about having converted to stick steer?

Those fish look almost as good as the boat. Those numbers make for a good day. Glad you got out and found a few.

Nice looking Shellcrackers. Boat looking good too! Congrats on a great day.

Nice catches! Always good to get hit after hit from shell cracker. Will look forward to the video.

Thanks Skeet. It was hot out there and had only planned on about an hour of fishing but once I got into them didn’t want to leave.

Thanks Danny. Talk about a huge letdown. Got home excited to get the video uploaded and none of the video had any audio.

Beautiful fish. Great job!

Fun size crackers like that are drag pullers. It's be hard to leave fish like that when they are on, even when it's hot.

Thanks for the ride along. Nice you have the boat in full action!

Very nice fish and boat!

nothing in the small round sunfish league has the play of them there red ear ......
love me some of that pull for sure
very nice bro :highfive
KABOOM

Like you said, the heat is tough but the fishin causes us to endure excess punishment. It’s all worth it in the end. And I second Danny’s request for a little shared knowledge of after bed location. Until these last few years I always struggled with that. These coppernose are more aggressive and if you look in the fishy lookin places I seem to find em. I sure enjoy em. Wish I could find the secret for the crackers.
