J.D. LURES

Fish JD’s football jig with confidence. Powder coated head, natural skirt colors and Mustad hooks. Take one of these jigs and toss it out on your favorite point or drop and hang on!! The JD Craw Trailers are a great match for this jig.

Saturday March 31st fished the first BASS Weekend Series at Patoka finished in 8th place. Fished a stupid tube most of the day and ended up with the biggest fish on a lipless crankbait. Focused on cuts in the back of creeks with wood and hard bottoms. Had a storm come through the night before made it difficult to site fish due to the dirty water. Got to use the new diesel rods from Powell they are sensitive and great weight as well. Next tournament is on Monroe April 14 th .

Secret Lures has come a long way in the past few years, adding new products every year. Chubby Frogs have been around for years and still going strong . Now adding jigs, shaky head, wacky rig , swim bait and frog hooks to their product line. And this year I am excited to see them add one of my favorite lures to fish. The Stupid Tube! All the best colors for tubes and the extra wide gap tube hooks , so the set up is perfect. Joining forces with 4th place Bass Master Classic finisher Terry Mcwilliams and Matt McCoy fishing in the upcoming Bass Master Classic to perfect the Stupid Tube set up.

Powell has come out with a new rod called the Diesel! This rod is priced for any angler retails at 70 dollars. The Endurance Series was a great addition in 2011 and 2012 the Diesel should explode on the market starting this month. Check them out on powellco.com.

Fall fishing is one of my favorite times to be on the water! The Bass are usually moving up and trying to get fat for the winter months. Some of the Lures, I always have on my deck is a J.D. Lures black buzz bait . might not get a ton of hits but when they do hit usually it will be a pig. I throw a trap and rip it through the weeds alot in the fall as well this can produce sometimes some good fish as welll and good numbers. When the water temp gets around 50 degrees I throw a jerk bait and silver buddy alot. The last few years, if the fishing gets tough I usually throw a shaky head they will hit it believe or not all year long. These are some the techniques I use on the water in fall .

J.D. Lures has finished the new website! Everyone of J.D. Lures products are made and poured in the U.S.A. . All the soft plastics have been added and also the perfect jigs and football jigs. If you looking for a great worm to use on a shaky head try the Thunder Worm. I am very excited for their new products out on the market and more to follow every year they tell me. Check out the new website jdlures.com and put more fish in the boat.

Saturday fished an open tourney on Lake Wawasee in Syracuse Indiana. Two days of practice up there I had cloudy skies and some great wind moving the bait fish around on the flats . Both days had a good limit on a DT and a Bandit 100 crankbait . Tournament day had a limit in the first hour and the sun came out and shut off the cranking bite. I could not get that kicker fish all day! Ended up in 5th place with a limit weighing 7.96 .

Coming down to the end of my tournament season and I have had a blast this year. Everyday on the water I get better. Give a lot of the credit to my sponsors Powell Rods, JD Lures, Snapper Boat Latch, Bass Pro Sites, Secret Lures, Go Graphics and Cocoons.  Enjoyed all the new product they all sent me check out there products and services they provide. For sure helps taking it to the next level.
