[QUOTE="russ010, post: 103512, member: 677"] well, I went against my norm of never throwing spinnerbaits, but out in open water I really don't like them. I did happen to have 1, and I mean ONE spinnerbait in the boat. It's the only one I like, it's a 3/4 with a huge #8 colorado blade with another willow blade underneath. That sucker thumps like crazy - anyways, when the crankbait bite died, I would switch to soft plastics trying to work it on the bottom, then started swimming it - and swimming it at 4-5' (I was fishing in 12') they would hit it and I caught a few, but they were all dinks. Put on the spinnerbait and tried it at various depths and retrieves and nothing worked. Put the crankbait back on and instantly hooked up. That was my pattern the majority of the day. I honestly think I just happened to hit a good school of them when I got the big one because I lost the 3lb and 2lb in 10 casts after catching the big boy [/QUOTE]
