Well two weeks ago, I had a day I caught 8 bass and the next day caught 7 bass, so maybe there's at least 30 bass in the lake.

Glad to see the lake recovering from all the Covid pressure. Have heard a lot of good reports that they have been chewing pretty good. Looking forward to getting out there this winter when it gets super cold.

Barrett, you know RR sucks in the Winter!

I think we have different definitions of bass chewing

Is there anybody out there that can show me how to post photos? I wanted to post a photo of the chatterbait that I'm not getting bit on. I used to use photobucket but when i try to log into that account I get error messages. I there any other way to do it?

I take pics from a digital camera and then take out the SD card and install in my computer and pull it up from there, but if you are using a smart phone I'm not sure. If you pose your question on the photo thread, I'm sure someone could help you immediately.

at the end you thumbnails for forum.

I was not counting, pretty sure we had over 10 in 4.5 hours last Saturday

Ok here is what I’m not getting bit on. This is probably a perch color but when outdoors it looks mostly purple and black though it has other colors in it.

That should get bit, especially as the water is cooling and a crawfish pattern takes place, maybe try a fluke trailer right now that's what I have been using, which has less action than the craw, or try it without the trailer for awhile, but the chatterbait itself looks fine. If you don't have any confidence in the color than make a change, because confidence in what you are using is real and makes all the difference in fishing. Good luck with it.

Love a chatterbait bite. My biggest complaint is how many fish I lose on them. Mainly fishing custom ones I bought on here maybe a decade ago. But I feel like I lose 30%-40% of the fish I hook.

I have not experienced this at all, are you losing those fish at the time of the bite/hookset or are they coming off as you're fighting them to the boat?

Are the hooks sharp on those baits still?

Caught a 5.7LB and a 4.1LB LMBs out there last Saturday on a dark color chatterbait . Fishing Ray Roberts can be hard, but rewarding.

I think after looking at some fishing videos on chatterbaits my problem might be that I am fishing it way to fast. I just started using the new low profile reels a couple of years ago and the slowest I have is probably 7:1. All my old school reels were probably 5.4:1 or in that range. I noticed throwing crankbaits right out of the gate that if I didn't force myself to slow down with these faster reels I'd literally have a blow out with my crank baits. I'd just over power them so much they'd come to the surface and turn belly up.
