Jig for them. I had a 3 boat trip this weekend and we did fairly well, compared to all the guys I spoke with. Friday all I heard was , nothin, nothin, I took 2 on Fri and other 2 boats had 0. Saturday one boat had 1, other had 8 , and another had 15. Sunday after the little storm we took 8 ,8 , and 18 after a small move. I tried to stay away from other boats but 30 ft. Sportcrafts in a somewhat line starts to grow then the fishing slows. Jig of a few diff. colors, minnow and without minnow, its the action the jig makes more than anything. Find a spot with good marks and fish it methodically. I saw so many little boats with 2 drift socks and hardly moving and I had 1 or 2 bags out an blew right by them all. Talked with alot of small boats today as they came in and all thumbs down. Water clearity is decent for what has gone on for 2 weeks. I also saw alot of big boats running all over so I thought it was best to stick with 1 or 2 spots and just keep at it. Mike Ike (bass guy) says never give up. Fish the edges of good stucture and contours that show good marks on your screen. The fish are there ,stained or not. The stomachs are empty on the ones we cleaned and the males are near done with the milk stage. Next week I would say jig with worms and small spinners just off the bottom.
Yep , I got em all , all weekend, that is all the lake would give up. If the customers are smiling at the end of the day , thats what counts. Fishing is fishing. Capt. Greg
