Flutterby, my dry storage neighbor that caught the 2 bass had red dots painted with his wife's fingernail polish on the underside of his Spook lure to make it look like the lure was a wounded bait fish; he said the bass really strike it visciously. I don't have any fingernail polish, which do you think would stick best and hold up in water: Sharpie marker permanent ink, Sharpie oil paint marker or acrylic enamel model paint? I have fire engine red in all 3.
I have trolled with Yozuri lures but I mostly baitfish. From what I read these Spook lures are cast and you bring it back on the top of the water (good that will keep it from pulling up weeds) in a zig zag walk the dog fashion. That neighbor had baitcasting reels and braided line, I just got a baitcasting reel with 12# monfiliment and a duolock snap, the baitcasting reel is better trolling the lure doesn't get the line twisted like my old spinning reel.
When I put a waypoint for his fishing spot on my Mapsource file to download to my GPS, guess what it is 22 feet deep there which is deep compared to the surroundings in Little Franks Tract, no wonder the fish hang out in that hole. We have a high tide Thurs at 1p at False River tide station, to bad I can only keep 2 stripers over 18" I am going to catch and release 100s of fish Thurs. DD
