Bass Booby clouser? Type 3 or type 6 sink tip with a short 2-3 foot leader has been my go to subsurface tactic. Switch up retrieves to see what they like.

I use about 4 foot of straight 20 pound maxima. Never found them to be leader shy and it turns that big popper over just fine. I fish a bass “booby” fly subsurface on a sink tip with about a 2-3 foot straight 20 lb flouro leader and haven’t found them to be spooked by the short leader either.

So glad the top water game is starting on the west side. Water temp was 65 degrees a foot below the surface yesterday compared to 60 degrees a week ago. Landed 6 fish in the evening, the first one right when @rotato came rowing up to the area I was working! Had a couple of other swirls that...

Cool thanks

Thanks for the info everyone. I’m just trying to make sure I don’t t ruin my trip with a visit to a Bahamian emergency room 👍🏼

First of all let me start by saying Barracuda on the fly are awesome! I've caught them from a boat and from a dock fishing in Mexico and released them by grabbing the leader and using pliers to unhook them. My question is when fishing on the flats while wading what is your go-to method for...

Heading to Nassau for the holidays with the wife and in-laws but am sneaking away for 4 days just before Xmas to Eleuthera. I managed to book a guide for a day and a half and then will be DIY the rest of the time. I’ve done a little bit of DIY bone fishing in the Yucatán area with moderate...

From a couple weeks ago, wish I got a better pic of this one…been getting a good amount of 2-3 lb LMB but this one was quite a bit bigger. Top water has died down in the last week for me at this west side lake but the subsurface game has been pretty good. Seems the fish are getting wiser at...

I keep it very simple and I haven’t found bass to be leader shy, 4 feet of 20 LB maxima is perfect when they’re taking top water.
