Hey guys we’re here, I can’t believe it’s the last week of October, on Lake Eufaula,
we’re about an hour and half from my house and I haven’t fished a whole lot of tournaments
on this lake but the few tournaments that I have fished have been really good and it’s
always been catching and cranking them on this main river ledges.
I tell ya what I figured out several years ago is there is a lot of timber in this lake
and it grows on the sides of these ledges on the main river and these fish will get
out here and suspend in that timber.
So we are going to go out and crank some of the top of this timber and see if we can’t
catch some of these big ole Chattanooga river full of bass.
Well what we’ve got here is a little bar out here on the river channel and it has a
little patch of timber on the end of it and these fish like to get out here and suspend
over top of that timber in the fall, especially on these cloudy days.
And all we gotta do is get the Spro Papa 70 off of that timber and trigger one to bite.
Once you get the first one to bite, it’s on then.
You usually catch three or four and more with three or four casts in a row.
That’s what we are trying to do, get one of these fish to bite…..get them fired up.
There’s one!
I don’t know if he’s any good but he sure did crush it.
Ah a little fish….
A little bity spot.
There’s a big one.
Boy he crushed it.
What have we got!?
A stripper.
Oh we’ve got 2!
Check this out!
Oh the other one came off.
I don’t know if you all could see that but right at the boat, we had 2 of these.
And one of them come off which that happens sometimes.
But you know I sit here and threw and threw and threw and I’ve been throwing here for
5 minutes in the same place and once you get them fired up, they all start to bit it.
A nice little chunk.
I’ve got it going right now guys; just a little one but there is a pretty good school
down there right now.
The main thing is when you get them fired up like that, hurry up and get your bait back
in the water and keep them going, and try not to let them rest.
Keep them Fired up.
Just like that!
Another little guy.
A spotted bass.
Oh what have we got!
This is a big one guys!
He crushed it.
Oh it’s big, ole head shaker, there we go!
Smoked that Fat Papa.
Favorite way to catch them!
Hahaha, look at that!
Lake Eufaula in the fall, Fat Papa 70.
Let’s see, what have we got here.
Must be a little white bass, yep a white bass.
I tell you when you catch these little white bass; I know sometimes they are a nuisance.
And Kind of messes with your school a little bit, messes with your mind.
But some of the biggest schools that I’ve ever found is mixed with those white bass.
Keep that in mind, they are there to feed on the same things also.
Even when you are using your electronics and looking for these big schools of fish, look
for them white bass.
They always tell you where a feeding place is.
You know I will keep grinding on this school as long as I can.
Keep my bait in the water and when they slow down, the first thing that I try to do is
change colors.
Like right now I’m throwing a lavender shad, Fat Papa 70 and we have low light conditions,
I’ll probably put a tropical shad on after this just to show them something different.
Which is a real bright chartreuse and blue back.
You just wanna keep showing them different colors, different angles and I even change
up the line size occasionally which will give the bait a little deeper grinding action and
just something different.
Just keep changing it up on them.
Keep working on them.
Use a stop and go retrieve sometimes a steady retrieve, you just gotta feed it to them.
See how I slowed it down that time real slow; oh we have got a giant on guys!
Change your retrieve, that’s what it’s all about, doing something different.
This is a mule.
I’m telling you this is a big fish bait.
You’re not going to believe this fish right here.
I can see that he is a toad.
I don’t know how big he is….here he comes.
This could be a 10.
Could be just a monster.
Here he comes, look at that guys.
Ohhh I love doing this!
Oh I cannot get my hands around him!
Look at that!
Whoa!
What do ya all think about that!
….. laughing…..
Look at that plug in his mouth!
That is a hammer.
Hey we’re fishing for fun and I am out here shaking, that is what this is all about.
That fish will go to 9 pounds easy; look at how fat he is.
Who says Lake Eufaula an’it in good shape.
