More Mepps fun with the special edition…

Mepps number five double blade rainbow trout pattern. Tight lines!

The spot has not given up many fish the past two weeks at all, really slow as the season heats up and demographics change. Usually I can hit a few largemouth here, but lately nothing. That all changed this morning… and reminded me why I come back! Sunrise, double blade number five rainbow trout Mepps… slow retrieve along bottom… casting out as far as I could, these fish hit within a few casts of each other… was still shook from first one when second one hit… gave a new lure like it to some guys to try as I left… cloud nine…what a great half hour at sunrise!!!

My wife brought him home before winter set in, he was living in a cardboard box under a trailer… he is the boss around here now… waiting on porch with grumpy derpy greetings whenever I arrive. He is quite affectionate until he is not. 🤪👍💙

Hit a park with a creek with my Mepps and bingo!

Couple spots between errands…
Double blade Mepps three in rainbow trout pattern getting it done for me lately…
Good results… tight lines!

Just a half hour after an errand with the Mepps…
Got hits on damn near every cast. As soon as I lost my steel leader on a snag and tied a spinner direct, of course I get a musky. Took several attempts to net him… need a wingman… lol

Double blade number three rainbow trout pattern Mepps.

I always walk the dog at the golden hour and take a few casts and different slots for bass depending on the wind direction. This is why I always rock a steel leader, maps double blade number five rainbow trout pattern for the win this time. After realizing what was going on in a tremendous fight, I managed to get him onto the ramp quickly unhooked the one fortunate hook in the upper deck have a bystander take quick pic and release. I guess the point is the golden hour really is something else! Tight lines everybody!

Smashed the Mepps, thought I had a big smallie here at lake St. Clair… Mepps was bent to hell and missing a hook on the treble… strong fish these guys… phew! Tight lines!!!

Copper seems to know it was a rough day. Such a knowing buddy…

I throw Mepps around shore where I can access Lake St. Clair. Some of the bass the last few weeks… been doing well with number three size double blade rainbow trout pattern with white bucktail… tight lines!!!

Always do well at the golden hour, though it seems the bite window is small some days… today I hit a good one!!! Mepps double blade size three rainbow trout pattern with white bucktail, reeled very slowly at an angle from out deep parallel to shore… tight lines!!!

1982 factory built dream machine…

Dotless for the win…

One thing I love about Mepps is you are always spinning the wheel of fortune…tight lines!!!

So I figured out there are bass to catch at work at the job I have been on, and have caught dozens of fish in the 1-2lb class. Threw a big pink Mepps at break for ten minutes today and hit a really nice fish… peeled drag and everything… tight lines!!!

That is all…

Shifted colors to red and white blade Mepps 5 dressed…

Went out for an hour and went 3/4 with a personal best walleye and a top five smallie!!!

My spot is really showing me the way, and as I make adjustments with times and lures I am unlocking things!!!

The smallmouth hit like a HAMMER and immediately jumped three times, and for once I didn’t lose her. The largemouths I usually catch here are a totally different take and fight… the one fish I lost looked to be a walleye and took it slow as I reeled the last ten feet of line in, kinda short stroke and didn’t get a hookup… anyway, I am really gaining confidence in the low and slow retrieve which is super until the weeds take over in a few weeks…

Tight lines!!!!!

Things settled down finally and they came back on…
Water super muddy, double blade brass and red platinum number three Mepps with yellow bucktail… slow roll is the way…

This one was really out of his jurisdiction… amazing these guys are showing up in my bass spot, a shallow little bay inside a point… third one in as many weeks… double blade aglia number 5 rainbow trout pattern Mepps has been catching a lot of fish this year, anything with pink is working really great early season! Tight lines all!!!
