Went out again tonight for a few hours with a friend. Night started of good with a largemouth about 14 inches or so. Then we moved and started to slam them. Got a pretty good one on the first cast. Then just about dusk we started to get some bigger ones chasin and then finally they just started to hammer the bait. All lures tonight no live bait. The last one of the evening made a few good rips on the drag before I was able to get him in and get a photo of him.

I didnt even touch any plastics. We used just small crankbaits like the size you would use if you went out fishing for perch. Like 1/2 inch long. Really fast retrieves right around the points. And if they chased I whipped it back out again and then they just pounded. Its all about size and retrieve there. Just work the bank and divide your casts like you where cutting a pie along the shore. I think that you boy will have fun even if he doesnt hook it but get to reel it in. The last one made a few good rips on the drag. SOOOOOO MUCH Fun.
