bigugli Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yes, you can catch gar, and many other species, with panty hose. However, it is not the most comfortable thing to be wearing in mid July. And here I was stealing my mom's old hose to polish my boots. If I'd only known.

Steve Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Top water bass style for browns on lake O when they shy away from other baits was pretty cool. I'd love to hear more about this? I've caught browns in very shallow water, with plugs that dive only inches below the surface, but never on a top water?! Like a popper? Were you sight fishing? Sounds awesome!

John Bacon Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I once caught a bull head on a Jitterbug... that is a strange bait for the species, although I was targeting large mouth. I used to dive for lures a lot. Once I found what looked like a couple of pieces of an old shoe glued to a fish hook to fashion some sore of home made spoon like bait. Somebody was fishing with a strange bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 There's little red berries all over the ponds here in the summer. You won't find a bait that will catch panfish and carp faster than those berries. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have caught inland browns on mini buzzbaits in really frothy water.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Browns will destroy anything, especially a giant streamer ripped across the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, topwaters like spooks, they would probably eat a popper too. When they follow/bump cranks, plastics etc., but stop fully committing we brought a few top waters down one night and they started showing interest. Hooking percentage is way low however... think it took over 15 blowups over a few nights to land one. Browns showed the most interest in bigger topwaters but the smaller baits were easier to hook up on. Not the most effective technique for hooking up but super fun and worked in certain conditions. Should mention it was strictly night fishing. But like Bill says those angry browns eat anything sometimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huronmtn Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Raspberries for lake trout -- they actually work pretty well when you jig with them. You need good firm raspberries for them to stay on the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky or Specks Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I wish I could put hooks on my stainless prop I've had musky hit it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Years back on the lower French I ran into Babe Winkelman. He was there in a Ranger bass boat filming a musky show and stopped to chat with us. While talking this old fiberglass bowrider comes blasting around the point near us towing a highly intoxicated local of Francophone persuasion in an innertube. He had what appeared to be a bottle of rye in each hand. As they zoomed past the guy in the tube yelled out "Hey Babe look at me I'm a lure!! I'm a *#@*ing Wiggle Wart!!"
