Another 3 man limit on locust this am. Started fishing at 6:30 and had our limit by 9. Several throw backs as well. It was very rough and hard to keep it on the bottom. 3/4 oz chartreuse jig from dreamcatcher was the trick. I think the red stinger hooks he puts on makes a difference. I did not use shiners. The best drift was the first one in the morning and probably could have limited before sunup if we had out in 30 minutes sooner. Sun up and boat traffic slowed it down a bit. Looking out towards w sister from there appeared to be some clearer water (way out there) unless it was an illusion or something w te clouds. Sat image will tell. Very rough / wet ride back in. Bass boat was swamped out there and was being towed back in.
We caught all of ours on john deer green and purple. Saturday was a good day till the wind started up about 9:30. The night bite was ok but not great.
we picked our 3 man limit in less than an hour on locust today. got one, purple, and black jigs. we were fun fishing when the wind picked up and we headed off. Pulled 7 on the first drift. no need to tip the jig.
Thanks for the report D, gonna try to drop boat in this week. Sounds like you had a nice trip!!!Quote:
