Fish The Birds GuideLines

I must say I've never used the Rambo method, but I have seen it used successfully. In the fall when reds are on the top making a wake like a boat, if you chase them with a trolling motor you can't catch them. Maybe W can with a 36 volt job but they usually will dive at the sound of that much hum. You can get ahead of them and try to let them come to you but at best you might get 4 before they dive and come up 100 yds away. I'm not proposing the Rambo method, but in certain situations, I have seen it work. My bud and I used to chase on those big schools of reds back in the marsh in about 6 " of water. The game plan was to chunk a gold Johnson spoon into the fray to get a hookup then they would breakup and regroup 100 yds away. We would each try to get two on - talk about a wild and crazy time.

Trout don't care what you throw at them when they're under the birds. That's why most anglers keep a "bird box." Old, discarded lures get tossed in the bird box because in the eyes of the trout any an all baits are wanted.

It doesn't matter what kind of failure those lures were previously, because no baits are unwanted by trout under the birds.

Last year I was making a meat haul and the only thing they would hit was topwater. Was very odd.

We fished the lil baby spooks and badonkadonks under the birds, in cold rough weather. Caught guud.
