Yozuri
Sunday, November 14th, 2010 | Author: admin
Mickey and I went to Lake Ferguson this afternoon. He took his boat and had Ed with him. We went where the bass have been schooling and they were there again. I was where the action was so I called them on the phone. I was having trouble getting a bite even though I was in the midst of a school of striking fish. When Mickey and Ed got there, they started catching fish right away so I knew something was wrong. They were using a Yozuri lipless crankbait that was more the size and shape of the shad the bass were feeding on. It has a very aggressive rattle also. They were out catching me 3 to 1 while we were fishing close together. They caught 24 and I caught 7. Mickey caught another grinner today and is trying to make a run at the Grinner Meister title currently held by Richard. Richard also holds the Goo Meister title and the Smallmouth Buffalo Meister title. A picture of his 12 pound Smallmouth buffalo, caught on a spinnerbait.
Hmmmmm, grinner meister, goo meister, buffalo meister? I’m beginning to wonder if there is a “message” in there somewhere! Maybe I need to start concentrating more on BASS.
It just proves you are a well rounded fisherman
Maybe you can find a Yozuri in the lake someday. I know you are not goinjg to run out and buy one to feed to the gars at $12-18 per. FYI: A check of my fishing log shows that Richard has caught 1 grinner this year and yours truly has caught 15. However, he is most definitey the goo meister. All but one of mine were caught in beaver ponds. It has been an unusually slow grinner year at Beaverdam.
I didn’t realize they were that high priced. I’ll have to start looking. You’ve caught a lot of grinners but Richard seems to get his picture taken with them. Mickey and I caught 9 in one trip to the Garhole and at least one is caught there each trip. Mickey even caught one in Ferguson the other day, out in the middle of the lake. Watch out, he’s making a run for the title.
