Details: White Crappie with a .223 TAC-MINNOW
Well caught one bass on this ridiculous fly, phone screwed up and lost the picture after release, and tried to catch another for proof of catching something... It ...more hit my rod while casting this heavy thing snapping my 8wt. So determined to catch another, I put it on my son's pole and caught this crappie in 4' stained water in front of a brushpile with overcast skies. Moral of the story:

Laying in bed the other night I thought of this ridiculous fly. This anti-liberal tactical assault minnow consists of this: 1 Rem .223 casing with a 3/32" hole ...more drilled for the rear hook shank, 5/32" hole drilled for the eye to pass through the flash hole, OD green paracord shredded at the tip with flex seal to hold the shape, Gamakatsu b10s 2/0 hook, utc 140 blk thread, small rubber band to fill

Theres a popular park nearby where people always throw bread in the water feeding the ducks. So I tied up these bread flies dry and wet to get hooked up on some ...more cats and carp down there. White chenille, Gamakatsu b10s stinger size 2 with white saddle hackle doubled up to get it real thick for the wet fly. TMC 8089 size 6 bass bug hook for good gape on the deer hair cube. Trimmed both into cubes.

Partly cloudy in clear water 8-10'. I was using a medium action rod with 20lb test. I felt a couple of bumps then nothing. So i was going to reel in to check ...more my bait, got maybe 1 crank in and boom he was on. Fought him for about 15 minutes. He maxed out my 50lb scale so Im guessing maybe 60-65lbs? Awesome fight and my hook was bent pretty good by the time he was in.

Heres my custom 1984 coleman crawdad. I cut out a plywood floor, measured out and cut the front deck with battery storage compartment, carpeted it all, threw on ...more the foot control 45lb minnkota trolling motor, a couple of rod holders, and the lowrance dsi fish finder. I call it my fun size bass boat, not too bad for a cheap old boat.

Gamakatsu B10S stinger 2/0 hook, estaz opal chenille, 7/32 black dumbbell eyes, black ...more rabbit zonker strip, 12-14 strands of green rubber legs with stripes drawn on, utc 140 blk thread. I work it like a jig and craw or something like that. Hope it gets some of you hooked up on some nice bass!
