Just an FYI that Gary Yamamoto has come out with a new line of hardbaits. I couldn't wait to get my hands on them and give them a try. Problem is that demand has been high and until they can ramp up production, Dick's is the only retail outlet they are in. I ordered 40 from Yamamoto and they sent me seven
So I was limited on what I had to try. Here are the 3 I tied on last weekend:
A blue "walking" bait, a shad square bill and a green pumpkin black fleck medium diver. I caught multiple fish on the first 2 but never got really deep enough to throw the medium diver. I did throw it a little and got some follows. My biggest fish came on the topwater but like a doofus I tried to swing him in and he flopped off. Proof is in the pudding so here are the resuls and I promise you I didn't stage any of the pics, I was in my boat alone so I had to hold the fish and take pics!!
And my biggest of the day came off a Yamamoto DShad tossed under a dock into a brushpile, man do I like that bait. I was trying a new color, the blue shad color.
Great 91 degree day in October!!
