I started fishing the big baits this last weekend also. I set the hook at every tap I get weather it be fish or brush. after a day at casitas with one bite and a half day at another lake with alot of snags I had a big red spot at the base of my ribs. Its hard enough getting them to bites you have to set that baby. I caught a bass just over 4# yesterday and was surprised that a fish that small would attack that bait. I have not fished my osprey yet though.
