Now, all ya got to do is learn how to fish 'em. You'll have to get someone besides W to teach ya. :smokin:

The Bomber is the most versatile bait you'll find for fishing Big Lake. I didn't see one spot over there that didn't look like a Bomber spot. If you're a "dink" fisherman, you can catch 'em. Since it's a big trout bait, winter and spring should be fantastic. You can't say that about a Corky...or an eel. :eek:

Big Lake Record was caught on a sand eel........ 11.25 lbs

2nd Place trout in STAR west division was caught on sand eel... 8.2 lbs

eel or eel jr? big bait=big fish?

that doesn't apply to a bomber though :*****::*****:

Not in the winter, tho. :shaking:


Bring that eel in January, W.....I'll kick your butt. :p

Honestly, the first time I ever saw an eel was in a tacklebox that I inherited from my grandfather...thought, that bait is ridiculus. Use them all the time now.

They both catch big fish just depends what ur fishing.

My 3 biggest (all biglake)

10.2 black/chrt sandeel jr.
9.75 chrt catch 2000
9.50 glow/chrt sandeel jr.

So yes they catch big fish but if im shallow after big fish probably wont have a sandell on most of the time.

Impressive

And Salty I know this guy... And he catches big fish...I know that makes you sick seeing that 10+ on a sand eel jr:eek:

Why would it? I know who he is, too. He is not in the "general public" when it comes to Big Lake fishermen. The class he's in....don't take long to call roll. :smokin:


What's your 3 biggest on an eel?

After he put his 3 up....you think I want to post mine:eek::eek::eek::eek:....Will tell you this.........I have caught more 6lb trout on that eel than you on a bomber!!!!

:eek:

You're worse off than I thought. :*****:

He's acting like a lil girl again haha :D

I'll shut up if he'll tell us about that 33 1/4" trout he caught on Big Lake on a sand eel, jr. :rolleyes:

9+..but next in line is a close 7.....with tons of 6lb and 5lbs...... I never had one in the 8lb range.... or high 7's........Had a long 28 1/2 string bean last year that barley went 6.5lbs...

:*****: :*****: :*****:

:shaking: :shaking: :shaking:

:rolleyes::thefinger::rasberry::headknocker::puke: :brew::funny::fireworks:

I found an old tackle box at my dad's house the other day and opened it up to find the old reliable tandem speck rig...lol...I got a good laugh out of it and then I thought, I don't know why I'm laughing, when we were kids we caught alot of fish on these baits. I guess nobody uses it anymore..

I think they use them more on the East side than over here.
