Win Tackle Tonight 6-8pm CST 6aug12

[Mike Cork]

I have 4 Ko Man Chi spinnerbaits and an Elite Tungsten Umbrella Rig to give away. To enter follow the guidelines below. This thread will be locked until 6pm when the contest starts but you can be thinking up your posts now. The more posts you make the better your odds are of winning 


Tonight's Topic will be: "What baits do you use in the heat of the summer? Include what cover/structure you fish them in, along with what lake and state?"

Qualifying posts must contain 1) The bait and color, 2) The structure or cover you fish, 3) The lake and state.

Make multiple posts. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Each qualifying post gives you a separate entry into the contest. Most of us fish different lakes and a variety of ways on those different lakes. Get as many single qualifying posts as you can.


Example:
Everyone should have plenty of entries for this one. Just yesterday I took Laurie out on the Red River. In 4 hours of fishing... We started with spinnerbaits on timber and caught a couple, moved to a ledge and caught several more on spoons, then to a lily pad field and pitched watermelon red zoom speed craws, and finished up with punching hyacinth along a levee with yet another bait. This is just one trip and one body of water.

Here are four qualifying posts from one four hour trip. We tried other baits and I'm sure I could make more but this is just an example.

White and chartreuse double willow spinnerbait fished around standing timber on the Red River Louisiana
A chrome Lake Fork Tackle Flutter spoon on a 5 to 18 foot ledge on the Red River Louisiana
Zoom speed craws in watermelon red fished with heavy weights in and around lily pads in 4 feet of water on the Red River Louisiana
Punching brush hogs through hyacinths that were pushed up against rock levees along the main river of the Red River in Louisiana
