Ceasar Salad. Or was it tuna??

If we had to pick two lures this week they'd be:
1) The Lunker City Salad Spoon.

We've featured this bait in many reports (see archives). It's really working overtime now. We're finding an incredible number of bass using the extreme shallows in just about every water we fish. Typically they are right in the vegetation or along the very edge, and nothing gets them out better than a Salad Spoon coupled with a 2/0 Gamakatsu Offset Worm Hook on 10# Fireline Crystal and a 7' Med/Hvy IM8 rod. (Yes...it's alot to remember. We know. Print it out and bring it with you when you go shopping for the ultimate Chicagoland Topwater Vegetation Fishing Set-Up.). Favorite bait colors are purple/green fleck, and black.
2) A white buzzbait. Both Mike and I throw white almost exclusively. BUT....Then again, Mike threw "Pinky Tuscadero" ( a pink friggin buzzbait.) and hammered some big fish sunday morning.

So, load up the backpack with Salad Spoons and white buzzbaits and catch some fish!
