Rig

Okay.

And I took an A-rig and I was watching bait fish just school all up and down the drop off.

And I took my A-rig out.

I backed the kayak up about, I don't know, 25, 30 feet.

I chucked that thing as far as I could.

Yeah.

What was that other rig got ADHD? It's like see-through, and we see that in Japanese Instagram videos.

Is that an A-rig or something separate?

Yeah, I have one.

It's called the, oh, shoot.

I got mine from...

I'll put a link into it, but is that an A-rig or is that a different technique?

So yeah, I should have brought it.

You know, a lot of guys are, you know, they're specializing, you know, maybe finesse fishing or, you know, flipping fishing.

jigs and heavy cover and stuff you know you know i i can do pretty much almost anything you know but i also like to find the next best thing that is that they these fish have never seen you know so and i did that you know when i started to fish this thing called an alabama rig you know and it's you know made for shallow water 50 it's got five arms and five lures and You know, it looks like a school, you know, bait fish coming through and the fish just hammer it.

And I started, I'm like, use it from like, you know, 20 foot to less, you know, shallow or water, you know, faster retrieves.

And then, you know, normally when you fish Lake Erie for smallmouth stuff, you're fishing deep, deep water, you know? So I'm like, I'm going to try this thing out in like 40, 50 foot of water.

And it tells you what fish are in there and what the percentages of, you know, explain one thing to me because the other guys did explain it to me, but I still don't think I understand it.

And it was more, I think, for walleye maybe, but it was the trolling versus the forward-facing yeah well that's that live scope yeah see that's the live scope it just put that in layman's terms for me what what these guys are talking about

trolling means which i we don't do for bass we're we're we're casting at them well more like the forward-facing okay so Trolling means you get in your boat, you throw lures out the back of the boat, one on each side or two on each side, and you go and you turn your little motor on and you drive at like two, three miles an hour.

So now you're dragging and you're covering everything.

...

I did witness, uh, our, our third partner on that float, uh, Rudy, he hooked up with three smallmouth on one A-rig at one point in time.

Oh.

Two of them came off at the boat.

Mm

... it's like, this is the time to go throw swim baits, you know, big top waters, A-rigs, all that stuff, and you can just burn bank and, and smoke them.

Um, not that late October, November's bad.

Uh, but, yeah, I am coming back to primo, but I do like that mid-October, just 'cause especially hunting-wise, I, I say the bucks are pr- more predictable, even though they've been kicking my butt the first two days I've sat so far.
