Title: Hit The Water Today for a Bit.
Post by: Curt on May 29, 2016, 04:59:04 PM

Hit the water for about 5 hours today. My wife walked into the bedroom this morning and said "let's go fishing". I didn't argue!  (giggle)

We fished from around 8:30 AM until around 2:30. The bite was slow, with only 3 bass caught, but I did manage to catch a decent one on this new bait I got from Bettencourt Baits.

It's called an Assassin. I had this one painted in a "Cow" pattern. This thing has some incredible action, whether you work it slowly as a wakebait or crank it down a foot or so below the surface.

I'm sure it would catch both Musky and Pike. I caught a large pickerel on it while we were out there too.

Everything that Nathan Bettencourt designs is geared toward big bass, but big Pike and Musky will undoubtedly gobble them up  :nod:

You should check his stuff out. His baits are all handmade and pretty unique. I've heard of some really big bass being caught on them!
