One could surmise that the grub with no twister tail looks more like a real live caterpillar or grub. Then again your catches look like they attempt to bite off more than they can chew so they might aggressive reaction strike most anything in their territory.

Do tell what your amazing discovery is. Is it the shape or color or what that makes it special?

Update on 8# J-braid x8 : Yesterday after a skunk at my usually somewhat productive wally spot at night decided to get a tug after it got light at a canal that still held water for a smallie or few. Fishing was poor with only a few dinks up to 10" or so but a better one slammed hard and ripped...

Good idea to partner pearl with glow for low light conditions. Have yet to try recommend from several sources to use black at night, You? Previous 2 yrs since I discovered night jigging shiny whitish pearls were best choice, but this year Opening Night color violet pearl back clear holo flash...

Been using em since the original Power Pro first debuted in 1997. Took awhile to replace mono, but now my reels are spooled 100% with braid. Tried lots of different brands, especially in the early formative years, nowadays more brands & types than I have time to try. Learned the hard way thru...

"Up & down & all around like a seesaw"

Glory days of Summer are done, and there is only a single spot with any chance of catching fish from shore within my comfort range of an hour drive from home. Normally productive canals connecting 3 reservoirs are shut down and even the crawdads in remainder pools croaked. Tragic amount of...

Those big gills must be quite a tug on your featherweight gear. Thats a huge tilapia, do they fight much at that size? Do you target tucs?

Been using Victory hook jigs more lately, mostly 10360 1/0 and 11413 #2 and am starting to really like them. Both are unique with no other brand alternates available. No abnormal bend out or breakage problems, both stick and hold as well as any and serve my preference for heavier wire hooks...

So far only 1 trip to the ER graveyard shift, a few annoying finger sprains catching falls and ankle to knees bleeder bumps. Would be worse without the recommended long handle net serving as a walking stick. Gotta pay to play. The aluminum tube net handles won't handle much stress, I recently...

Hey Mr. Hookup, got a 30# cat on a post snag REBENT 604 recently. The rebend did not budge a micrometer during 3 productive sessions only retired cuz I'm leaving on a trip.

Perfect hair ties there, beyond professional. Those Victory hooks work OK for you?

Sounds like a boat is needed for 3 season access to fish movements, lucky I discovered compensating for lack of same by fishing from shore at night. Not very often and haven't figgered why but there are times in smaller waters lacking an alewife spawn when the nite bite for wallys & wipers can...

Big eye hooks usually open eye & hard to find in small sizes. Would double hooks work?

What is a fall run? I' don't remember any decent shoreline fishing in the big lake except during the alewife spawn.

With no better options despite several big lake skunks decided to keep trying hoping for a lucky stray. Last night not a single alewife swirl in sight flailing a long stretch of rocky shoreline with predictably no predator bites employing previously successful shallow shoreline parallel search...

Forgot to mention my bud Jon for what I thought was a ridiculous idea to cut Gulp troos sinking minnows into thirds. Until he unequivocally out fished me one memorable day. I prefer halfsies which accounts for nearly all of my catfish, but Jon deploys them for all species successfully. Except...

Mr. Neal likely ain't pleased you misspelled his name. Do tell how you can modify a plastic tail to improve it?

OK, 2023 big fish at night bite is done, wallys & wipers on July 22 and catfish on July 31. As expected wally bite decreased, wiper bite increased temporarily, catfish bite took over after wallys-wipers ended. July tally: 46 wallys total 28 master angler 8#+ 27 master angler wipers 8#+ 109 cats...
