Murray BFS 5/8 bait

Post by Dannicus »

Nearly all 14 fish today came courtesy of this Sixth Sense bluegill colored crankbait. They call it the pressure series and it is the deep diving model. It's been working well in all the lakes I fish and I can easily throw it on my light rods. They really hammer it.

I like to troll it in front of the tules in 10 feet of water and cast it over the rocky points.

Thanks for sharing!
What's your retrieve on this on, being that? Stop, go? Dragging the bottom? Bouncing off structure? Open water straight retrieve?
I see that you said trolling, but was wondering what was triggering the strikes?

It dives 7 to 10 feet. There is a lot of elephant snot on the bottom of Murray right now, so I generally use my fish finder to position myself over 7-10 feet and slow roll it on a straight retrieve Just off the bottom. I can feel it vibrate easily on my BFS rods and it seems to soul pretty easily if I hit anything.

I do pause and twitch it occasionally, but most hits lately seem to come is of a slow steady retrieve.
