We went out this morning on lake Mohave, from willow Bay. Had a great time.

We Caught a 20 smallies and a small bluegill. I caught 10 of the smallmouth. Also caught the smallest and the largest which wasnt big. They were all pretty small. But fun to catch.We fished near were we caught a 3 pound smallmouth last weekend.

They can be setup weedless, or in a texas rig.

My nephew says they work pretty well in Tennessee where he lives as well.

Local sporting goods stores, including bass pro, don't stock this color, I got them on amazon.

Curly tail grub jig! My all time favorite bass lure.

And I've caught a ton of other fish on them as well. Up north, white worked well, but down here for bass, the pumpkin green does the trick. For saltwater, I've used white (okay) but "almost" clear/gray got the snook!

The proprietors of the lodge we are staying are from Arizona. About 7 years ago he said to his wife that it was too much to keep up 2 places and they should move to Alaska full time. She responded, "I will follow your dream until it becomes my nightmare." I thought that was a pretty good answer. They have been living there full time for 7 years now and she is still enjoying it, so all is good on the home front for the lodge owners.

Great quote. You definitely need to have similar desires.

In my estimation, there are two kinds of people in this world:
1) Those that would rather be hot and sweaty, and then go into an air conditioned building.
2) Those that would rather be cold, and then go into a warm building.

I definitely prefer the latter. Full time Alaska in the winter is hard because of the lack of daylight and consistent cold. I love that though. It's been hot here in Minnesota for the past month and I would rather have -40 and a blizzard than this any day. I don't find heat and humidity enjoyable at all.

I used them for trout as well in Fl but with a red head and white body. That was in the 70’s and 80’s and they didn’t have the fancy tail yet. Just a straight body. Once in while the reds would grab it as well. No match to a live shiner / green back though and the all reliable shrimp.
