Swimbait advice. Still struggling to get it down. I am headed to amistad in august and plan to devote a whole trip to it. Thanks in advance.

Use cheap ones that you're not afraid to lose (Storm for example). Let it sink and reel it in slowly. Bring it through the bush and tree tops slowly.

Learn how to fish as slow as you possibly can, then fish slower. The line thru Ospreys have a good rep out at Amistad, hope this helps.

I'm on the same boat can't get the super slow down

Let it sink to the bottom on some type of off-shore structure..... reel it 4-6 cranks then let fall back to the bottom. They will almost always hit it on the fall!

I like to catch a day when there's a steady 10-15 mph wind and use that to drag them across the same areas that I would normally fish a c-rig. You can cover a lot of water and not wear yourself out throwing them.

To me JPost has the best advice. My best day on Amistad was using 4" and 6" Wild Eye Shad (chartreuse or dark shad) fishing them in grass (hydrilla),letting them drop to 15ft.in 20 ft water before retrieving them slowly.

These baits don't cost much, and work very well when swim baits are working.

Good luck on your trip.

Berkley hollow belly and slow slow slow.

Be patient. You may not get a ton of bites but the ones you do will be good.

I always use a bullet weight to get it down and keep it there, I like the 3.5 to 4" better but at slow speeds they don't seem to have good "roll" action, so i put weight on and speed up my retrieve while bait is still being kept down.

first time I threw Hudd's, I was told to go slow.. and then go even slower...while using a 5:3:1 reel.

then HAMMER em on the hookset once you know they have it.

Ill be fishing with an osprey and an all american trash fish in shad. Maybe a tru tungsten tilapia.

Thanks for the advice. I will yry all those techniques. I fish so things so slow the reel almost isnt turning lol. I saw a guy on tv slowly turn the rip it up real hard and then let ot fall. Anyone have luck doing that?

Same as reeling it hard 3-4 turns and letting it drop like previously stated. Your working It just like a flutter spoon or strokin a jig

Mono Line, always retrieve all the way to the boat. Fish use the boat as cover.... Those are two quick ones.

Hitch is the color for that Osprey at Amistad, Coach.
