Everyone who wants to target white bass and hybrids (and drum??) should hurry up and buy some white or chartreuse sirens! These spillway fish can't lay off them!

We like to use Crankbaits in about 20ft of water depending on the season and time of day for some huge Hybrid Bass. When you hook into a big one, the drag peeling is an absolute adrenaline booster

@@EngineeringHooksets I may have had an encounter or two there, but the window is very short and the competition to just get on the spot most of the time isn't worth the drive. When I used to live up the road that would have been a different story. More than once I caught, cleaned and cooked fish from that spot in the same night, good times...

Yea we were pretty excited for the drum in Clinton that day but getting one after another would be frustrating in a way

@EngineeringHooksets Жыл бұрын

Yeah it was frustrating, I was told there would be 10lb hybrid stripers and I got 9 drum lmao

After testing your flukes I think you should either made the tail a little longer and a smidge thicker or make it jointed. Gotta love a good drum bite (The drum bite is always good when you dont want it 😂)

@EngineeringHooksets 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback! But there's really no way for me to modify the baits without getting all-new aluminum molds made, which is really expensive.

Tough luck out there. There are so many drum in that river. The shad in there get massive. I have caught lots pushing a pound. Did Zac show you his home made jigs? I got my PB white bass at the sand spot just up river from your spot below the railroad bridge and a 3.5 pounder just below there. Hope you have better luck next time. 👍

@EngineeringHooksets Жыл бұрын

No, he didn't show me any jigs. By the looks of it he only brought 1 paddle tail that he was using. Thanks for watching, man!

@PeelingLine I told myself when I started selling lures I wasn't going to let that stop me from fishing other brands. One of my kayak videos coming up I used a Zoom Fluke 75% of the day and caught a ton of fish on it.

How did you meet up with him, i would love to fish with backroads angling. Was this video recorded late in spring or actually three weeks ago because i fish there and it has been very low

@EngineeringHooksets 11 ай бұрын

This was recorded in May. Backroads and I exchanged emails a couple years ago about fishing spots in Colorado because we both lived there for a bit. When I knew I was gonna be in NW Illinois I sent him an email and asked if he wanted to fish for a bit. He had to work that morning so we were only there together for about 10 minutes.

Whoever is giving you inside info must be full of crap! I think you got a small taste of how hard it is to edit my videos. I'm a babbling idiot. Those drum will fool you every time - they hit hard like a white bass and fight hard. I think that big rain storm just before this messed everything up. I thought it might be a good thing but it seems the rising water threw off the hybrids. We will get them next time for sure!! haha.
