Yeah, looks like work has everybody stuck. I haven't gotten out nearly as much as I thought I would these past few weeks.

Went out for a short night trip with Erawk a week or so ago and we had little luck. He caught one decent bass and I ended up striking out.

Went out a couple nights ago with Sil240sx (James) and we did a shore trip. Caught a couple cats and a nice fat carp. I also caught a beer buzz.

I think I'll be out Sunday, I'll be sure to make a report up when I get in.


Silver and black shad-imitating Rapala DT-10's work well, as do any lures that look like a shad or crawdad. Good luck out there!

It has been awful quiet. I don't get out nearly as much as I'd like either. I'd also recommend having a lipless crank like a rat-l-trap and a topwater like a spook. If you don't mind dropping the cash, pointers and sammies from lucky craft kick butt. Good luck out there.

Some great Mead lures:

A spook

A popper

A shallow diving squarebill

A Lipless crank

A Deep diver

That should get you through to the winter. Drop shot a finesse worm when things get tough.

I found this on another post. I'll add the link too hope this helps
