Best Lure
Ok, I hung it up this weekend,  not a bad season though; I had a lot of fun. I just wish that storm hadn’t come through; it was shaping up to be a really good run through the ditch.
As I was cleaning out my bag and cleaning up my lures ( I know it’s a sickness ) , I was thinking which lures are my top producers not my favorite just what catches fish and what dose it say about my fishing habits.
For me it’s my Gibbs and yo-zori poppers, next would be my Danny’s, and last would be my Rapala’s.
Curious to know others top lures where this season? |

I had good luck w/ the Fin-s baits early in the season. Then I would have to say that the Mambo Minnows were producing pretty well late summer and in the Fall. There were others that were good once or twice but these seemed to produce pretty regularly.

2) crippled herring
3) rubber shad
4) yellow pencil and polaris poppers
I am about 90% done for the year but if somthing special comes up I will go again.

Not too thread hijack but the very last thing I would ever throw is a popper. I dont even carry any. Maybe I'm missing something.
My best plugs are mambos, black or black and silver and a white stubby needlefish.
By far, I catch most of my fish on hack teasers I tie, black with some flash and a touch of blue bucktail. Bass of all sizes love these things.

Poppers in the spring are deadly effective. Some of my biggest spring bass have come on poppers. Also work offshore when the fish are working the surface.

I've never fished a hab's , are they really that good ? Looks like alot of tin's and jigs , I don't mind paying my do's to the canal god's , but it gets real expensive  , this season every time I would buy a few I would loss them on my first cast , never mind the line I would use along with the tin/jig. |

montauk mikes peanut bunker tin, 7 1/5 in finsfish on jig head,blurple psyco swimmer,canal special bucktails and gibbs darter and pencil.
a little off topic i noticed that all most all the time the fish want a slow retrive. my theory is that it gives the fish time to notice and find it(hone in on the plugs vibrations)

todays schoolie is tomorrows keeper,todays keeper is tomorrows cow,practice catch and release!!!.
