I got spanked last year by a guy throwing a buzz bait in the middle of the day / summer 100 degrees bluebird skies

Messed up isn’t it?

Few years ago dead heat of summer a buddy keeps telling me he hammered the bass in an oxbow lake on buzz baits. Mid day.

Two days later we go. Mid day 90+ degrees. Caught about a dozen 3-4 lbers throwing black buzzbaits under cypress limbs.

When it first came out i was catching lots of fish. 90 size black with yellow nose. New bait and fish were in it . Fast forward a few years everybody and their mom are throwing it and I don’t find it as effective. Seen the same thing happen with the ribbet frogs.

Whopper Plopper will catch big ones! I use the 110 most of the time, although I have caught a couple of big ones on the 130. When I'm fishing the rivers (Calcasieu and Sabine) I throw the 90, because the average size fish is much smaller. Don't over complicate color selection, I use either Bone or Loon all of the time. Bone when I know shad is the main forage, and black the rest of the time.

It works well early AM at your favorite kayak fishing spot
