  • Howdy Folks! We recently took a trip to the White Mountains in hopes of some good Bass fishing. We stopped at Rainbow Lake and Woodland Lake, but were met with tough fishing conditions. My girlfriend did manage to catch a catfish though! Finally we stopped at Show Low Lake and hit the jackpot!
    The late afternoon wind was in full effect which made it difficult to locate any fish. In a last ditch effort we moved to the leeward side of the lake and found a school of Smallmouth Bass five to ten feet off the bank lurking in the shadows.
    The bank was very rocky and I had to switch to weightless wacky rigs and soft plastic flukes to avoid getting snagged. The nose hooked weightless fluke in the color white and green pumpkin were the ticket! In the end it was a very fun trip and was nice to finally catch some Arizona Smallies.

      @strikeforcebassin used to be really good they had some water level issues back when they had some fires but with all the lakes coming up from the snow this winter hopefully they'll get better

    Always watch this but it sure would have been nice if you had shown what you were using1

      Most were on a weightless white color zoom super fluke Jr. I also used a green pumpkin color fluke.
      I nose hooked the bait with a 1/0 wide gap finesse hook by Gamakatsu. I casted out and let it slowly sink, popping it a few times.
      Next I used a weightless 5” stick bait worm in color green pumpkin, wacky rigged.
      The other bait I used was a weightless 6” texas rigged robo worm in purple and pink.

    How did you rig the fluke? Weightless? What hook did you use?

    • @strikeforcebassin
      @strikeforcebassin  Před rokem +1

      I rigged it weightless, nose hooked, with a 1/0 Gamakatsu wide gap finesse hook. I let the bait slowly sink to the bottom, then popped the slack in the line to make the bait dart just above the submerged rocks.
