By the way, when fishing those big worms, I wasn’t fishing them slow; I was fishing them fast like a jerkbait…a good jerk, then let it sink for a few seconds, jerk, let it sink etc…and every time, they hit it hard right after I jerked it. I’m guessing that the movement of that curly tail prompted them to strike. But then, they may like the color purple…what do I know?

Let’s see, we had jig week, spinnerbait week, and then a continuation of spinnerbait week, and maybe this week is “old school” worm week I was going to also try some shaky heads out there but I know first cast = snag.

Ty,

I started out trying the smaller purple worms we used to use at Idong back in the day but I was fishing them with a bullet weight and it kept getting snagged so after a few times with me having to break off, I went with the bigger worm, weightless. Next time I go out, I’ll try some of the smaller worms again, weightless but the problem is they’re so light, you can’t cast them any distance at all.
