Something different

[DJ_Callahan_27]

I tried something alittle different last year that had some good results the last couple of trips I took. I was fishing a wieghtless T-rigged fluke in standing timber (pole like timber, very few limbs). The bite was slow, but we had landed a couple and lost a couple. On the next cast my fluke landed 4-6 inches away from a tree and I noticed I had a loop in my spool (ok a backlach, lol). As I was pulling line off the spool to get the loop out the line hanging off my rod tip started to swim away.
After catching about a 2 pounder while backlached I tried pitching the fluke to the trees. After about a half hour of nothing I put a Paca Craw on the same wieghtless 4/0 EWG hook. It made a differents. Five fish in 7 cast. The biggest was about 3.5 to a skinny 4, but the lake I was fishing isn't really known for producing big bass. A six pounder is a trophy. Musky on the other hand is a different story.
I'm hoping to be able to text this technique alittle more this year. Has anyone else tried this or had any luck with it before?
