Hi,

When you are in the back of the boat, what do you throw when the guy in the front is throwing:

a. a bucktail
b. a loud topwater bait
c. a suick

Thanks

Gordo,

Depending on conditions, this is what I'll throw.

1. Jerk Baits, not in any particular order. Suick, Reef Hawg, Undertaker, Slammer DB

2. Crankbait or Twitch bait

3. I don't let the guy in front throw a Suick! hehehe But if he was, I'd probably throw a bucktail, or a twitch bait.

Doesn't matter much, I change my bait A LOT. But I'll usually not throw what my partner is throwing unless s/he's hit on a hot pattern.

You didn't specify what kind of water, or water conditions, tends to make a big difference.

The only limiting factor I see with the front guys bait is, if he is working a search pattern with a fast bait, sometimes you will be moving too fast to work a slow bait in the second positon, ie a hawg wobbler.

I throw what I want when in the back. I try not to throw the same as the guy in front unless, as someone else said, that is what's working real good. As for luck front vs. back? I don't think it matters. I've raised and caught as many from the front as the back.

I always throw something different than what the person in front is throwing. When that person switches to the same bait I am throwing and we are not scoring on fish, I will change baits.

Sometimes I put on the bait that the other guy took off.
It's pretty fun if you get some action!
However, I usually don't change baits much, unless I'm in demo mode.

I usually just throw a fit. I don't care what he throws as long he picks a side to throw it on and doesn't try to cover every last fricking piece of water so that I am nothing more than someone to talk to while he fishes.
