What can a Bass Goon like me do to make winter go by faster?
Sleep.....Eat.....Sleep more.....Eat More.....hey I'm getting Fat and Lazy!
I better be careful or I'll start looking like your "Typical fishing Show Guy"......
So other than trying to exercise everyday and avoiding too much junk food,
I like to go over my tackle and re-organize things....
This also brings back some great memories of fish I caught on certain lures.
Now, my fondest memories usually come from my Jig box...that beat up old black flipping jig with a worn out weed guard and a dried up chunk of pork!
But you know there is one lure I catch more Bass on every year than any other, Not a Jig Not a spinner bait and Not a tube jig.
No matter what province what lake or what time of year, a topwater bait will put Bass in the boat when all else fails.
When a tournament is on the line or I need one more fish or if I'm looking for active fish I pick up the top water box and pull out a "Storm Chug Bug" and cast
that little bad boy as far as can as many times as I can!
There are some tricks to use when working this bait ....but that's another story!!!!!!!!!
Do yourself a favour and pick a couple up you won't regret it and like me every winter when you reorganize your tackle......you'll smile every time you open the lid of your topwater box!

i used one of these on wrigley lake ont and caught a 36 incch northern pike i love this lure it makes a nice soft splash that wont scare the fish No.4 trespasing on un touched lakes
i went fishing in a spot across from the paris faigrounds by kichener ont. i used a 6\" green chug bug when a 12 pound monster largemouth came leaping out of the water.after i released the fish with an amazing experence and picture.we came back the next week we went back some o.p.p oficers came on atvs and kicked us out.Honestly though there were fish every where sun fish pumkinseed and bluegill nests as far as you could see.you could even see large mouth and smallies 5 ffeet off shore none under 14\".it was amazing i even saw a 3 ft long chanel cat scared the hell out of me. wish i could legaly go back.it was fish n heaven!

Hey A Twelve Pounder would be a Canadian Record!
Send me a copy of that picture...you may just have a record and not know it!
Small lakes and ponds are great areas for bass to grow big. Little predation and not much fishing access...
I want a house on that lake! No.7 Untitled
