Yeah, I’d stay awayFrom the fake rubber junk
For sure, seeing the "uncle Josh" brought me back about 30 years to the pork frogs lol, what a mess those were...
Ironically I have found the will eat the gulp minnows not moving in the same fashion. Something in that juice they love.
Those work fine, that’s what Keith, Jason and a lot of guys run, with success. I prefer Red Eggs in the Atlas Mikes eggs. Big Boys, King Deluxe, or UV glo. Those are fine though
OK. I’ll let another one of my tricks slip because I enjoy seeing others catch fish, just don’t ask me where I do it Berkley power eggs or Gulp eggs work the balls some days too but the problem, they float. Many days that’s fine if it’s what they want I just run a camo splitshot 8-12” above the hook and then another 3-4” behind that so you can sink the eggs or PB and the second splitshot pulls the line away from the bait so they don’t feel it in there nose on the take. Anyhow, my trick so you can fish them on bottom like regular eggs is I thread them onto a Clam Caviar jig that looks just like them and it sinks them to the bottom and the jig blends right in.
Absolutely! I tried that as well after seeing all the ones with Senkos hanging half out of them I figured hey I’ll throw something on bottom too but that biodegrades and Bang!
I use a salmon egg to sink the PE,usually 1 will do it.. I thread the egg on, then cover the hook with the salmon egg then snug the power egg right up against it..... the crayfish scent ones work real good around rocks..
Something like this?
With that said... What about crawdads as bait for shallow bows? Shallow sand/rock bottom is certainly crawdad territory.. I do really well on smallies with them, the biggest trouble is keeping them close to the bottom but not so close they can reach it and burrow.
Precisely
I did. 200$ worth
Amazon to the rescue. First guy I knew when I started getting after bows told me to get the Pautskes. He caught plenty of big ones. I bought and used about a jar of them before I found the Atlas Mike’s. Bigger egg, but still a ‘natural’ egg, which I like. You jam like two of those on an 8 hook with a meal worm or Dillie and there’s nothing left of the hook at all to see besides a nice, fat, cluster of bait. Smaller fish can and will pick them off sometimes or nip and spit giving you frustration and empty flags, but I find bigger fish like that bigger ‘knot’ of bait and take it and run. Jut my opinion. Cool that you’re branching out from bass. It’s a whole different gig. I love bass fishing personally, but for me it’s an open water thing. Nothing speaks ice like trout fishing.
