I'm making it my mission to boat a hawg on a Dawg this year. I've tried them from time to time, but have never boated a legal yet.
Gimme some pointers.
Or is it just a matter of keeping it wet? I seem to only pull 'em out after the sun is up and I want something that runs a little deeper. I let 'em sink. I count 'em down. I work 'em like pull baits. I swim 'em. I jerk 'em.....just can't get a good fish to go on one. In fact, I ve never had a decent follow on one and I love to figure 8 them for longer periods of time than I do other lures.
So, preach me and teach me and help me catch a hawg on a Dawg.

As a good friend of mine (Donnie Hunt) taught me, cast the Dawg of your choice out, let it sink however far conditions warrant, and that start a series of slow sweeping pulls alternate direction... left, right, left ,right, maybe a left left with a twitch in between.  Then, and this is the important part, when the bait is between 10 & 20 feet from the boat stop pulling and let the bait sink on a tight line until it is nearly vertical then start pumping it to the surface.  When the bait is near the surface make a radical turn and roll the bait over on it's side and go directly into your figure 8.  The roll over move is a killer and one that will get those lazy followers in the mood.

I work those things everywhere. Toss them out and get super aggressive with them -big strong pulls,change directions and try staggering jerks.
On opener this was the goto bait on the lake we were on.The Frankendawg
christ I got one that is just barely held together with melting,mono stitching...it just won't stop catching fish! I love these damn things so much I always have one rigged up and ready to go.
