Chatterbait doing work at Ray Roberts again. Fished yesterday 11/23 and caught five bass all on my custom chatterbait. I threw two other baits, swimbait w/underspin and a spro flat sided squarebill and they only wanted the chatterbait. First three pics are the biggest fish at 3 lbs 10 ozs., then two others. Had another close to 3 lbs, but didn't take a pic. Fished again today for a few hours 11/24 with a lot of wind and caught five bass all small keepers on the chatterbait again. I hooked another fish on a spinnerbait and got it to the boat and it got off and I lost a really small one on the chatterbait. I was throwing the squarebill and a weightless senko in some protected coves out of the wind to no avail. Two days in a row on a chatterbait bite. Caught a 6 lbs 1 oz chatterbait fish a week or so ago.

Good stuff man!! Love a chatterbait bite!!

I just came back to this sport and have thrown a chatterbait quite a bit in the past year and I can't even get anything to pay attention to it. I have one and it is probably on the larger end of the scale; purple and black with a polished aluminum blade. I've been thinking about the smaller Zman version in white; seems like a lot of guys out there in the media world have good luck with that one.

If you could, I'd like to see a pic of the purple and black one. What are you using as a trailer and what lake do you fish? The one I've been catching these fish on is custom made by Donald Harper who lives in Justin, Tx. and is a member of TFF. www.donkeybassin.com It is 1/2 oz, color is Junebug, which I asked him to create for me. I like showing the fish something different than what everybody else throws, so far it's been working and I'm catching them in cloudy and sunny conditions. The 6 pounder I caught using a fluke trailer in a contrasting color Mardi Gras that is light green with purple flakes, the past two days I was using a dark Junebug fluke.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good day,
They were biting shad colored chatterbaits, crank baits and hard jerkbaits last Saturday. Most on the deeper end of lay down.

I give David all the credit for coming up with this color. It took many hours of work to get them right. Glad they are paying off.

Nice post and fish. Good job.

I’m having just the opposite results. Last 3 trips I’ve caught at least 5 on each trip. 11/22 had one 6 one 5 and three less than two. All were caught on white underspin.

slip of the tongue: From 4:30 to sunrise, its 10X better. Been gripping and ripping for over a month.. GO early, and prove me wrong. I don't think it will last long, prob 5 more degrees in water temp and it will wind down. Fish are fat.... Two lakes same pattern..

It's funny you mention that, because I had a trip last week that I could only catch them on an underspin as well, but unfortunately no 5 or 6 pounders.

seems like only 5 bass in the lake a trip. only 20 bass in the entire lake. LOL
