Spent two days out here last weekend. On Day 1, as I try to do, I threw everything under the sun, trying to expand my knowledge/experience of the many ways to catch a bass. But after 6 hours of little to no success, it was time to catch some fish. I can't say enough about the Strike King Ocho stick worm, especially the Blu Craw pattern. I caught 8 spotties in two hours, ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 lbs. Which needless to say, saved the day. You can guess what I started with on day 2 on my way to 17 more beauties!
