I finally got a chance to USE the 2 chatterbaits I bought yesterday after the rain. While it wasn't exactly a good time to be out fishing.. I think it was way too 'calm' weather after some evening showers, I wanted to at least get used to what chatterbaits do in the water.
I caught 1 smallie in about 100 casts with a white chaterbait (threw the same or more with a green/chartreuse color and didn't catch anything.)
It seems that the chatter bait, which I think is designed in the Jig family by people who in the last couple years 'ripped rigs' along the surface, catches fish on the pause and drop. Though, I only caught one fish and IT was on a pause, so we'll see what happens when the smallies really start biting in a couple weeks. (this time of season I rarely catch many smallies, not till the middle of june usually.)
The package says it can be used as a jerk bait, jig, or spinnerbait so I wanna see the PIKE chasing it when I pull it fast near the top!
Even a BAD day of fishing is better than a good day of work; paydays excluded!
