I sure am glad you blocked out the background of your spots..... or someone will come fish your spots dry! lmao

Bassnroun here...I would have never thought about fishing an umbrella rig with only 1 lure surrounded by the flash of numerous spinners. Do you troll that or cast it? Could it be because you couldn't successfully land two sizable hybrids on one lure? I reside in Kentucky in fish one reservoir that has a good hybrid population and have access to another, Lake Cumberland, renowned for it's large stripers. I have purchased slabs from various TFF members over the past 11 years and have used them exclusively for vertical jigging with limited success. I troll white bombers with trailing flukes with limited success. Chrome rattle traps have produced catches in late fall when fish are shallow. I am retired, do not fish tourneys nor do I frequent Texas waters. I am attempting to expand my prowess and your expertise is apparent by your posts. If you could pass along any tips, lures and techniques they would be greatly appreciated. Oh, some great looking sassy shad. I have cast those in the past mostly for white bass and crappie. I also like the drop shot hardware to attach the lures to. Innovative. Good luck in your pursuit of the mighty hybrid! Mike Wilkins (Bassnroun) in Kentucky!
