Who said you can't catch them in the summer time. Terry seems to always find them no matter what lake he is on. Think he is hooked on the Laser Blades
Fished Logan Martin today, 5:45 am until 9:45 am. Pop Rivers and I fished up river from Riverside in 12-16ft. of water with Lazer spoons tipped with minnows.
Had 32 keepers several between 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 lbs. didn't know how to post pic's so sent them to Dave, maybe he will post some. Fished main river ledges
where ever there was cover. GOOD FISHING, Terry

Nice pics, how are you rigging that laser blade with the weight below it, just making a loop in the line or tying it on and leaving a long tag for the weight? I've never fished like that but am interested.

Ok I will chime in here on the setup. In the first picture you can see a 3/4 oz weight tied on the line right at the bottom of Jerrys suspenders . Up about 18 inches is the laser blade tied to the line. You can either tie it straight on the line or use a small loop knot to attach it. Just try to keep the blades close to the line so they won't tangle around it.
Thread the line through the Laser Blade and tie it to the line leaving about 18 inches of tag line left and then tie off the sinker. Not much to it. But the colors of the blade seem to add to the minnow wiggle. You can also tie two Laser blades to the line a foot or so apart for a tandem setup. Or a blade and a jig,whatever you fancy.
We have even caught them just on the bare blade when jigging. When you raise your rod tip up and down if the blade is attached to a 10 in leader it will flutter like a wounded minnow when you do this jigging method with the up and down movement of the rod. If you have any other questions just IM me.

Who is that fine looking Angler holding the fish ?
Laserdoc, don't give away all our Laser Blade secrets.......
Take a Kid fishing, keep only enough to eat, and release the rest to spawn again. Pop
Retired Air force, new to area. Live in Moody. Picking up my boat Saturday. Looking to learn how to fish Logan Martin. Was reading your posting and looking at picks and was wondering how you fished the rig you had (laser blades with weight). Were you drifting, trolling, casting?
