Ever think you'd be spending $25 for a lure at Cabala's, Academy or Gander Mountain?

90% of the time a standard worm dragging along the lake bed works for me.  Still, every few years, a new shiny Rapala is nice addition to the Tackle Box.

I made really good money snorkin around fishing holes and harvesting lures (and the occasional wallet). Sold them generally at half price at the local farmers market - Probably to the same good ol boys that lost em in the first place.

Best day ever= I found a duck boat and motor, still strapped to a trailer, a bunch of boat gear with a waterproof  bag full of stuff, a trolling motor that worked fine once dry, three fishing poles with reels, two packed-full tackle boxes, two hundred bucks, and a cooler full of beer. That's a really good day snorkin'.

I've been catching nice spotted bass, largemouths, and wipers with this rig over the spring and summer.  Green or charcoal swimbaits have worked best.  They seem to accurately mimic the baitfish population in my area.  Works well in weedy/wooded cover.
