    The spotties are finally moving up to spawn. Dropping a wacky rig with a Yamamoto Sexy Shad Senko right on the shoreline and slow twitching it back was money! I had a 1/16th oz nail weight at the top just to get the right tilt on the Senko. Caught a few on the 6th Sense Provoke as well....but it was wacky rig day at Bullards! And that Lew's Custom Pro is an amazing reel!!!!

    This is my third report in a row with amazing results using the 6th Sense Provoke Jerk Bait, Shad pattern. It was rainy all day, about 25 degrees colder than it's been for over a week...so wasn't sure what the spots were going to be doing...turns out they were roaming the points. At midday, I thought I finally hooked into one Bullard's legendary bign's only to be surprised with my first ever double hook-up with two 2 pounders. Does that count as 4 pounder??? If this picture doesn't convince you to hit that Hot Bait link and try some of these provokes....well...

    I new this Yamamoto Sexy Shad Senko pattern would crush! I bought them specifically for Bullard's Bar because those spotties love to munch on Kokanee fry. And the translucent white, with those green flecks just nail the presentation. I started out with them weighted a little too heavy, but when I backed down to the 1/16 oz. nail weight, the Senko would flutter down at just the right speed. Shout out to the 6th Sense Provoke Jerk Bait that got me into a few as well. But the Wacky rig was the answer today. They're not quite into spawn mode yet...but it's coming soon.
