LucG Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I know, summer is not over yet! But it has been a long time since my last report so I'd though I'd compress it all into one. It has been a very busy summer, most my time has been spent fishing or working. I competed in several tournaments for both pike and bass, with some decent placings. Also spent every free minute of my time learning new water and mastering new technics. This year I focused on drop shotting for smallies, I experimented with all kinds of line, hooks and bait. I've narrowed it down to using 12 lb seagar fluro, using 1/0 owner wacky hooks. My best bait has been using either the 3" or the 4" senkos (wacky rigged on the dropshot) Also unsing 6'9" Med-Hvy, fast action St-croix mojo bass paired up with a Quantum Smoke Spinning reel. This is one of my new favorite technics for summertime smallie. As for largies, I focused my attention on flipping. This year I went to a longer rod: Kistler 7'8" telescopic Hvy. This really helped in not only pulling these fish from the thickest cover, but also helped on my flipping acuracy. Using 65 lbs braid, spooled on a 7:3:1 gear ratio Quantum Smoke Baitcaster. Owner 5/0 hooks and a tungsten weight. Anyways, almost done work, time to go fishing! Here are a few pics, enjoy! 1st Place - Nipissing - North Bay Bassmasters 1st Place - Nosbonsing - North Bay Bassmasters Couple smallies on the drop shot.
