hey

i live in Southeast Mississippi and im thinking of getting a Hud...i was wanting to see what you guys thought about this? would this be a good choice or would another swimbait be a better choice? what size?rof?and color should i get?...ive been fishing the matt lures baby bass with great success but i wanting to get a larger bait now

thanx

what conditions are you fishing most? are there trout stocked there? how is the normal topwater bite? have you thought about the 9" slammer in bass color?

no there are not trout where i fish....the topwater bite is ok where i fish...yes i have considered the slammer but i thought that the hud might get more bites since it is more realistic...the water is usually stained somewhat where i fish

thanx

Im in Austin Texas....I was out yesterday in the middle of the afternoon and located a good number of 3 to 8+lb fish in some very clear, relatively shallow water (3 to 9 feet). I caught one fish blind casting Devil's tongue with a C Rig. The visible bass would not even look at a wacky worm, a senko, a shaky worm, a suspending jerkbait. I lobbed the Hudd well past them and brought it thru the area that they were staged.....it looked like the Pied Piper. There must have been 10 bass swimming behind this bait. I figured it was just a matter of time. I'd stop the bait and let it sink to the bottom (ROF5), they'd sit there an look at it. After a number of casts i had one load up, but missed him....I let them rest for a while and came back. I caught one that was 6lbs and only 21.5 inches long. It broke off the sevenstand wire stinger hook. I was using a red belly hook, that stuck the fish. I had one more bite, missed that one also. I'll be back out there this weekend. BTW, there are no trout in this water

Natchez, thats all I have to say. Theres gotta be golden shiner where you fish, the hitch hudd would be perfect for that (called gold/black back). Also, you got a bunch of sivery minnow type fish in you lakes, so the kokanee color would work. Go for it.
