Enjoyed the video. I still have Johnson Silver minnows in my tackle box. Throw them on the Roanoke River occasionally. Next how about a jitterbug video.
I remember using them back in the 70's and 80's with a uncle josh pork strip! The 1st time I tried one, I had lost my weed walker (plastic spoon with a metal paddle wheel) on a big fish. I put on a silver minnow because it was the only other lure I had that could be thrown in the pads without getting snagged. I didn't think it was going to work, but the 1st cast with it, and I caught a 5lb bass that still had my weed walker in its mouth! I'll never forget that....FishOn....Jim
Super Glue a short or trimmed white Spinnerbait Skirt or a short white grub. Let it fall when you first cast it. then fish it like a swim jig. Bass hit it 50 Percent of the time on the initial fall. PS you were right to bend the hook out!!! I use to kill them on this in South FLA.
Johnson silver minnow has been catching fish for many decades try putting a white skirt or a twin tail for a trailer people just get all wound up on the latest baits and forget about the old classics and that is a mistake . there's a reason why they still make them and they sell dont forget the classics.
Almost forgot about that been a long time ago. The one we would use had this crazy feather on it. Did catch some on it. That was super cool heck yeah nice ones. Bring some more like that . Thanks again for another awesome video. Late.
Dude, put the fish back. Damn fuck yer story, tell it after u release the dink. The water temps already dam near 90 deg which means oxygen lvls are already low. Now u wanna hold the fish for 5 minutes while you tell a story? Come on man, think about it
That was and still is a Roland Martin staple. I also used to throw it a bit in the 80’s with a pork rind trailer. A split tail spinnerbait trailer works great as well.
I need to get back out there!! My Dad told me about Back Bay in 80s. He said it was awesome and would throw a broken back Rebel in the holes between the Hydrilla
It does catch fish!! We always put an Uncle Josh pork strip on the back. That was years ago and I never caught anything!! I made it happen on this day though!
@@GunnFishTV My grandparents had one of those trees in their back yard. The number of worms was amazing. I'm surprised the tree survived. We used the alternate name Catawba.
Awesome video as always Kev. I think top water in the early times and dusk time, also drop shot for deep water fish. No idea to be honest with electronics on anybody with good game can win.
Don't know the perimeter for the contest. But if they get close to the boat fleet area. They will only find big fish. The area is flooded with dangerous species. Including snakes,gators,sharks, and massive turtles. Only the big survive.
Justin Lucas with a top 5 finish 2weeks ago and a hell of a come back on the chowan to make the cut on Saturday to get him to championship Sunday! And his first fish was a 8.1 on Sunday! And I think it will be won on the chick! I think the chick has bigger fish then the James but that’s just me
