Alright Fool, W and Salty...
 

I need some help from you guys(I guess I'll take a little advice from you too, W:*****:). I went to Cabela's today and bought some new Saltwater equip. I need to know who these "Sand Eels" and "Jr's" you are talking about. I looked all over and found some eels but none really in the colors that I have seen you guys using.

Also, Salty, your Bombers...How big are they? I found some bombers that were divers that were bout 4" long and some topwaters that were 5" and up. That seemed big! I couldn't find any split or broke-bombers. What other baits do you guys recommend for top water?

I understand if no one wants to help me but know now that if you opt not to, I shall come to your precious lake with a boat load of croakers and chase you all over the lake!:*****::*****::*****: Really, any help would be appreciated.

Southern......I've looked at Cabela's before & they did not have much of a selection of sand eel jrs. Academy has a good selection of colors.

Check out these sites...

you can buy from both sites.....

Sand eel jrs....Go to Academy!!! You only need a few colors....

heddon super spook

dude thats some funny stuff, Academy has a good supply of Sand Eel's the web sight is better by far.

Thanks all. I don't even think that I even saw any Norton products over there. Weather sux today so can't fish. I may run to Baton Rouge and hit Academy.

i use spook Jrs. when fishing with W (his fish aint big unough for super spooks) :*****::*****::p




i throw all colors W had...except i also throw tequila sunrise.

thanks RR!

bad karma
 

Now Fool,
You got a man willing to take ya fishing and teach you the lake and you gonna DOG him???

waltrips my boy, its all in fun...:spineyes:

You see that trout in his pic.....Ask him who put him on that!!!:eek:

waltrip put me on trout that day...like i said "he my boy"

I don't think the Lake Charles Academy carries the Glo/char Sand eel jr..........In the past 5 or 6 months I have checked at Academy 8 times [and counting] and they have not had this bait......just an empty spot on the rack.

jrs.
 

I have seen the regular sand eels but they are always out of jrs. Try the deadly dudley jrs. glow glitter & chartruese.

I have 3000 eel jrs so I havent brought any latley....I know Lake Charles Tackle has them...

LCT i think has em...academy never has what i need instock!

hey gerald i live here in scott, i can check for ya at the academy in lafayette i f ya like. ill be down at the lake every sat next month. pm me if ya want me ta check on sum

the store on hwy 27 (before u get to fishermans hqtrs) its a conoco with a bait shop attached.... right when it dog legs from 108 to 27, first store on right.. can't miss it... they had boxes of them bad boys.... i threw them when i was fishing with RAY and had a hit, but boated nothing... threw LSU almost all day !!!

What are these LSU's that you guys speak of? Heard about a lot of people fishin em but have no idea.

Baits
 

Good to Superior Bait off Seigen in BR and get Bayou Chubs in the LSU color (purple body with Chart tail) and Glow/chart tail. Also, get some Tsunami Swim baits in Purple Haze, Glow, and Olive back colors....get the 3" swim shad. They make several different types but I find the 3" swim shad works the best....just cast it and work it slow or fast like a crank bait by reeling it in. That is all you need. One last thing get a Chart and bone color Top Dog Jr by Mirrolure or spook.

lafayette has glow/chart and LSU

This is LSU.....

Hey, ya guys are awesome! Thanks for all the great advice! Thanks for all the posts here and the pms on what I should be gettin. Man-o-man, here goes budget! LMAO!!

Again fellas, Thanks a million!

Southern151---Now all you have to do is find the fish. Remember if their are no fish where you are at..... Live Bait will not even help you. Which place are you looking at fishing?

Probably the Ponch., seabrook, Chalmette. Those types of places. I have to work in those areas a decent bit so, I'll likely drag my POS boat any time I get a chance. I can't do big water due to lack of a boat that is safe to take there but, I'll do the ponds, canals and channels whenever I get a chance. Reds, sheepshead, trout...Whatever's biting...Hopefully not too many hardheads! LOL

Good God, I just looked at the norton website. They have more colors than anyone could want. For me....LSU, Glow chartreuse, and opening night.

Southern never fished those areas you listed. I mostly fish Dularge & Big Lake. Certin times of the year I fish the rigs out of Freshwater City and Vermillion Bay.

I'll fish anywhere I can put my boat or have time to get to. Got a lot to learn and the rest of my life to find em. Hopefully, I can get on em soon.

I missed a great opportunity the other day. I had to go get my pots off of the lake and started to take a pole with me but decided not to. I was out there and the water started boiling with mullets. The swell was massive and went on for over 20 minutes. I even drove up on em and they still kept bustin! I was kickin myself pretty hard! I wanted to jump in or throw a crab pot at em...Something!

Corey, expect to go 8-5 with the LSU color.....8 hookups....5 misses. :p
