Yesterday morning was a really solid session of bass fishing. It is the Lil' Shaka's birthday weekend. We had a great time fishing with flukes. I tried a couple other baits but the bass seemed to only want the flukes on this day.
We normally use Zoom Flukes and rig them up weedless on 1 or 2 aught hooks. We tried a number of different colors that work really well. I think the main color in the Zoom Super Flukes that the bass really wanted was the Arkansas Shiner color. We also tried a new Googan Fluke called the Dart. These were the five inch models and the specific color was a Green Gizzard Shad.
I also went to Academy and purchased a rod and reel that I thought would be a great birthday present for Lil' Shaka. I picked out a Ugly Stik GX2 casting rod. It is not an expensive rod, and you don't need a very expensive rod (by the way). All you need is a rod that has medium power. You need it to flex much like a rod you would use with spinnerbaits. I paired that rod up with a Diawa CR80 baitcasting reel. He was happy! And, now he has a nice rod/reel combo that is medium power that he can use for fluke fishing. It might even be great for some other finesse applications. It worked out very well as he was catching fish immediately.
I hope you all are having a great summer, stay committed, stay driven!
