Thread: Beetle Spin Follow Up

I took the Jon boat out on my favorite pond this afternoon. The conditions looked promising after a cold morning. The temperature was right around 70 degrees, no breeze most of the time and a light overcast. I was initially looking for Bass with a weightless finesse worm. I had some other lures lined up but never got around to them. I caught some bass but also had a lot of taps from Bluegills. I decided to follow up these taps by throwing the Beetle Spin on my BFS rig. The result was a lot of Bluegill, some bass and several Crappie.





The BFS rig allow me to throw the Beetle Spin right up next to the bank. Quite a few bites happened there, in very shallow water. I had never used a Beetle Spin like this before. I was also able to throw in and around some brush piles and blow downs to good effect.


Pulled several off this tree including this bass that nearly swallowed the Beetle Spin!





I wound up putting 30 fish in the boat in about 2.5 hours of fishing. Sure was a lot of fun. Even landed a 4 pound bass on the finesse worm. I guess the fishing were eating ahead of the storm rolling in.
