Today's Top 5

1. Lipped Rat-L-Trap?!

Well, yes and no. Technically not a 'Trap, but the new Echo 1.75 by Bill Lewis lures, makers of the 'Trap. Points:

  • Squarebill
  • Blend of low- and high-freq sounds
  • 1.75 "outcasts a 1.5 by 10-20 yards but maintains a smaller profile than a 2.0."

2. Fishfinder wars.

> More than a half-dozen U.S. patent-infringement suits have been filed in the past year between the five top makers of marine electronics, including three complaints lodged in June and one in July. One is scheduled for trial in August.

Here's the funny thing: At some point pretty soon it'll come to a screeching halt because everyone will have the same tech and all the lakes will be mapped. Then what? #bassgolddata!

3. Ghetto LiveTarget Bait Ball?

Hahaha love it!

4. Ott De-Faux!

As in faux (foe) hawk:

Nice feesh – dude looks happy!

5. New Star Trek bassin' rigs!

Tip of the Day

Mark Zona: Bass around deep 'gills.

Good article by Louie "the Legend" Stout:

> Keep in mind that not all bluegill schools attract bass. The better fishing is found when those bluegill are holding close to deep grass.

> If you don’t see the bass on the graph screen, it doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Sometimes gamefish are tucked tight to the bottom and aren’t easily recognized in deeper water unless you zoom in.

> “The grass is the key, especially the ‘perch’ grass that is short and coarse,” Zona says. “I’ve found bluegill hovering over perch grass [in] anywhere from 17 to 40 feet of water — places that most people never consider fishing for bass.”

> We fished 3/4-oz bluegill colored football jigs tipped with Strike King Rage Craws in blue craw that were dragged or hopped along the bottom. The results were phenomenal.
