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.

Well...we had to pull out the entire arsenal this day. The bass were all over the place. Some where up in the shallows, above ledges, some were down on the bottom at the base of ledges and they were still in water column, as the 6th Sense Provoke showed us. First time using the Z-Man micro finesse set up and glad we did. On a day that we truly used everything we had, that was the hot bait of the day. It felt strange going so light and small....but the lightweight rod and reel set up made a 2lb Spottie feel like a 4 pounder. Lot's a fun!
