This specimen fell victim to one of our most productive high speed lures, the braid marauder. Trolled at around 12knots at a 5000 count (short corner) in perfect conditions right on sunset
Small rock piles, single rocks, pieces of wood, random jon boats on the bottom, things like that
The lures used have no hooks

When thats the case, he normally chooses the winter pattern because those fish tend to be more dependable, and to Christie, theres no better winter bait than a tried-and-true Smithwick Suspending Rattlin Rogue
