I came across a great bait that nets me some HUGE fish. A guy was fishing it at the Calif. Delta and I told him that I KNEW it would be a slayer. He said he'd never got one on it (had just started tossing it, but only for a few minutes and then put it away). He gave me one, he had two. I couldn't wait to use it, and I'm getting better with it.

Usually I 'tell all' in my reports, and leave the bait I got it on in it's mouth for the pics I post. BUT I've kept this to myself, even making one friend that back seated with me swear to keep it under wraps too. Weird huh? He went and bought one, and is now getting some nice fish too.

So today, a friend walks up and takes a look at my baits when I got back in, and now I realize I've got to cut it off before I get back.

Ever felt you had to do this? I know I'm getting more fish because the fish don't see this, and I also know if everyone fished it the success rate would drop a lot. Maybe I'm getting wiser? Once it's out and I see it around more I'll revert to leaving it in the pics.

I don't fish tournaments or club events, but I guess that's normal procedure huh, keeping baits secret, or at least patterns, not too many new baits out there really.

Makes no sense to me whatsoever!....If you want it to be your secret , then fine, don't tell us about it........Now ,of course, I want to know all about the lure since you ratted yourself out.........Think of all the sleep i'm going to lose over not knowing.

I don't keep baits secret and I don't believe bass know that this is a new bait and should strike it.

This reminds me of the "King of the Hill" Episode where Hank used a new, illegal bait... grin

All of the other 4,374,655 available baits have failed to get a bass in your boat?


God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know when to go fishing.

Maybe he left the "i" out of title and its Sushi? I'm not quite familiar with Sush!
