LAB 4/28 with pic's

Lol it's all cool just kidding around. Seeing how your passing jig heads I'll take a few 1/4oz weed less . Are those the same jig heads as your 3/8

Hang in there AJ, with the out going tide mid morning, the bite is Tough for everyone. Sometimes luck plays a big role in catching fish at those low tide times.

I covered a BUNCH of water yesterday, and also threw a bait I've never used before, and my retrieves are also different than the normal slow roll. Think jiging for LMB's..

I think i will keep to LMB until i learn more about saltwater bass

Salt water bass are no different than LMB, except they live in salt water. And the bays are generally larger than the city park lakes you fish., and the only way you lean, just as in fresh water fishing, is to get out there and catch them.

In fishing lmb's you get skunked every now and then, I know, I've been fishing for lmb's since 1973 and have been skunked plenty of times, as have I fishing for bay bass, it's all part of the game.

The good part about bay bass is, it cost's WAY less compared to fresh water, and the fish fight much harder..

@ Hammer,,,well said!
@ Everyone else, nice work out there fellas! Wish it would have been me but I was out early that day on the yak and in the wrong side of the bay. I should have known better...oh well as Hammer just said...all part of the game!

what do you mean by this? Just curious.. what conditions made it the wrong side? Thx man..

Well first off...my gut told me to paddle over to the east side and back bay. But I ignored it. Also, if I would have been using my head, that is where the majority of LAB fish I have caught lately have been. The activity sucks on the west side right now. I fished an area that has been slow to nil, no birds, lousy current and no bait fish visible. I spent too much time being stubborn and fishing a zone that really I knew just wasn't happening. Most of all, I had the ability to cover as much water as I wanted pretty quickly, and failed to do so. I deserved to fail. I was a bad fisherman and a bad yaker. So that is how it goes when you don't do all the "little things" right. Wasn't a total loss though. I got exercise and bs'n with Hammer and fishing with Leaky tube is always a good thing and my daughter had fun and it was a beautiful day out there too. No way a total loss.


Just no feesh fo me is all...I want to cry...LOL!

Looks Good. Do you happen to have them in a darker green, like an emerald green..?

These are the colors that Barlow's carries
I've only tried the rainbow trout and alewife
The 3.25 size works good
I tried the 4" size with poor results
Best thing about these, the price is right
