Old stomping grounds never let you down!
In this episode, Ethian and I head back to one of our favorite fishing spots on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida β€” a place we’ve fished for over 13 years that we call β€œThe Rock Wall Pond.” It’s where it all started for us, and it’s still holding fish!

We spent the day bank fishing and ended up catching 5 bass total. Ethian landed the biggest of the day β€” an estimated 3+ pounder β€” a Razor Baits Mud Slinger swimbait rigged on a belly-weighted bladed hook. I caught all my fish using my homemade β€œC Bomb” lure β€” built entirely from old, torn-up soft plastics! https://amzn.to/437h4uk

If you’re tired of spending money on new lures, I’ll show you how to make your own at $0.00 cost using old baits, rusty skirts, and a little creativity.

πŸ› οΈ DIY TUTORIAL: How to Make Your Own β€œCue Bomb” (The $0 Lure That Works!)

1️⃣ Gather Materials: Old soft plastics, scrap worms, or torn baits you no longer use. (Or grab a new one if you’re feeling fancy!)
2️⃣ Cut Into Pieces: Slice worms into small 1×1 inch chunks (or any size you want).
3️⃣ Add Skirt Material: Use a large sewing needle or fly tying bobbin threader to pull 6–8 skirt strands through the plastic. https://amzn.to/3L8skQR
4️⃣ Rig It Up: Fish it on a 1/8 oz weighted wacky hook or use a nail weight for extra fall speed. https://amzn.to/4mZHzsT
5️⃣ Catch Fish: Toss it near structure, grass edges, or rock piles and hang on tight!
6️⃣ Thank Me Later. 😎

We love going back to these old ponds β€” they remind us that you don’t need a fancy boat or expensive gear to catch bass. Just grab a rod, get outside, and enjoy the day.
