I’ve always like to use a lizard on a stand up jig. Tubes work well also. Lately i’ve been using a senko worm hooked wacky. Sometimes you have to experiment to find out what pisses them off .

April 16, 2009 at 5:38 am #768937I use a 5″Senko for LM on a 4/0 hook, and smallies a 4″ senko on a 2/0 hook.
JackApril 16, 2009 at 2:09 pm #768999do you guys use cranks at all I find using them less exciting compared to jig worming or any other plastic method…
April 16, 2009 at 2:16 pm #769001A big white jig. I can see it plain as day and plop it right where it needs to go.

April 16, 2009 at 5:08 pm #769061When clean water conditions allow, I still like that twitch of the original black and silver floating rapala Great bait when we were kids but haven’t thrown it in a long time. Good question Jon

BowedUpPosts: 38April 25, 2009 at 6:16 am #771009I just use a lindy rig and a big old worm. Drag the bait on the bed, wait, watch and set the hook.
If that doesn’t work, use a big treble hook with a sinker pinched on the shank and jerk it across the fishes back. Gets ’em every time.
Just kidding.

I wanted to learn more about bed fishing and knew this event could be a bed event. I was right, and also lucky in that the two draws I got both ended up in the top ten, one was first after two days and the other was 6th. Cant tell you everything I learned but I did see just about all of them want at least one go to WHITE bait. Creature baits were a bait of preference. One was pegged one wasn’t and that is how they wanted to fish it.
