I haven't been out in months and had full intentions of getting skunked. I was heading to my favorite cypress tree... you can see it in the second pic where my line crosses it. The tree is right on a point in the middle of the lake and I've busted plenty nice ones there dropping a huge jig down into the roots.
Anyways on my way there I just saw bass busting on shad in open water, so I stopped and started throwing the "secret weapon". My friend is a guide and makes those lures. They're like a rattle trap with no rattle. I just buzzed it along the top of the water and they were busting it like no tomorrow.
Five other guys were out there and got skunked. I was fished out in about 2.5 hours when they quit chasing the shad and the wind picked up.
These things work on ANYTHING!! Tell him Corey sent ya...
