Rattle Traps

I started out at my favorite spot this morning but unfortunately, there was already a carp fisherman camped out there, complete with at least 10 spinning rods spread out by the point I like to fish.

I couldn’t cast without crossing his lines so I had to cast really close to shore but still managed to catch two there.  After a little while, I packed up and headed to another spot.

I was determined to catch a bass on a rattle trap, so I spent about 45 minutes throwing one and finally caught a fish on this type lure.

The two above are the biggest and smallest of the morning…I also wanted to catch fish on different colored Senkos beside black so I put on a watermelon with black flakes and not a single bite.  I spent a lot of time throwing that rattle trap and could have probably caught more fish had I stuck with Senkos but hey, I’m just happy that I managed to cast a rattle trap in that river for 45 minutes without getting it snagged and losing it :)

    Rob,

    The way the last week or so have gone, I wouldn’t doubt it.

    Steve,

    Thanks, and I think I’m most proud of the fact that I didn’t lose that lure. You saw what that river is like :smile:
