| Okay, so I have used Bull Dawgs a lot as of late and have not even seen a follow. I am under the assumption there is no wrong way to fish these baits. For those who have taken fish on the Dawg, could you please let me know your technique? Jerk, Twitch, Reel(How hard, how fast?)? I appreciate any response. Hope all is well with you guys. | |

Location: Racine, Wi | There was a post on this last week I believe. There is some good info in there. I threw them alot this past weekend, and got 2 pike, and missed a musky on it. I learned from a great wise kid a short time ago, to fish it similar to how you would work an undertaker. Just twitch it. You can pull it like a suick as well. Basically any way you work it is ok. Some times the straight retreive works better, other times, you want to twitch it.
Most of all, stick with it. They dooooo move and catch fish. I am becoming a believer more and more every time.
I too went through not seeing fish on them, but stick with it. They will come. | |

Location: Madison, WI | You really have to let the fish tell you what to do. The bait is so versatile that you can fish pretty much any way you want. For me in the Madison area this year the fish that I've seen on, and caught with, dawgs have all come on a straight retrieve. That's after pumping, twitching, jigging and jerking them didn't produce any fish.

Location: Rice Lake,WI | Sometimes it's a color thing and a preference emerges for the day but change it up ,try big huge sweeps of the rod or count them down and then work them back to the boat. Sometimes the more erratic the better,other days the suttle presentation gets the nod. The fish like mentioned before, will definitely let you know if you're doing something right. The open water bite is always an option and after catching a few fish this way one starts spending a little more quality time plying no man's land. Good luck and keep dawging em'!
