sorry bout that. i was kind of in a rush to get off when i replied. the lke i was fishing was keowee in oconee county. i was just thinking that none of you guys knew where that was. as for the ac minnow, i have the 9"er. i got confused talkin bout the 7" slammer and stuff. ill tell u what, e-bay has some idiots! i got that 9" minnow for 12 bucks! the guy said and i quote "i am a bass fisherman, and i got this lure as a gift. its just too big! does anyone know who allan coe is? his name is on it." or something to that extent. and he calls himself a fisherman. oh well im sorry for any misunderstanding. so anyways, what do u think bout that 5"er? im thinkin yes. do any of you know of any other lakes in SC? we have Russell, Hartwell, Keowee(whick is clear, by the way), greenwood, Wylee, Bowen, monticello, and murray, which i think you guys have too! try not to misunderstand the rednecks of SC! we try! patrick

It's mainly a topwater thing, it doesnt sink, very little versatility. My opinion? Not cost effective

I just got back from fishing a small Orange County pond that has proved very tough in the past (Amish Ed, the ponds!), decided to switch it up and toss the 7" AC plug to see if I could make something happen, ended up with two fish (actually very good count at this place, lol!) with a nice 4 pounder finishing the night. The first fish was only a pound, but managed to whack it hard enough to get both treble hooks in each corner of his jaw, he wanted to swallow it! Don't be afraid to throw these things, even small bass will whack them. It's a good size meal that takes very little effort for a bass getting ready for winter to eat. My buddy got skunked on plastics, par for the course on this bathtub. Throw them in good water and you will be stoked.

Yeah, Brian, the world renowned San Juan ponds- they are the closest bass water to my house, otherwise I wouldn't even bother!

Hey guys, glad I haven't been forgotten, I'm a little busy lately (did fish Havasu this week though). A 4# bass in SJ is sweet now days. I've had all my big LM's out of there (biggest was 10-12#). Until they started killing the weeds. I don't know if that killed the fish (never saw any floaters), but since late April I haven't pulled better than maybe a couple 3's from there. And never any numbers, and all winter I'd have 5 fish nights regularly. I just hope they just went into hiding.
Lately I've been hitting Discovery on the rare occasion that I find some spare time. Best from there was about 5#. But, the usual pattern has been a 3, a couple 1.5 - 2's, finishing with a couple dinks. I hit that place four different nights over a month, always starting at sunset and fishing under 2 hours. All four nights I swear I caught the same 6 or 7 fish in the same order. Usually all my fish there are on Senkos, but a few fall to the puppy too.
My question, when throwing the trout baits, what role does water depth play? Discovery is pretty shallow, but I want to try something new there. I have a 7" or 9" Basstrix I was saving for the sand bass spawn I never fished. Should I throw this into deeper areas, or stick to the shallow areas I fish now?
Sorry this went so long, it's been a while, Amish Ed
Brian, almost ready to try the spotties again?
Amish Ed You can't catch it again if it's dead!
