Using minnows or jigs? And would you happen to know a good spot that would be good to launch a kayak close to the main Chanel to do some spider rigging without having to paddle forever

[BAMA S]

Can't give up yet BAMA, too much sweat equity tied up in the game. I am gonna try to drag some cranks in the main channel at Logan this week. Tried all of the big sloughs w/o much luck.

A place to launch at mid lake would be Rainbow Landing and further down river would be Greensport. The launch at Canoe Creek would be a long way from the main channel but you can usually catch some fish along the creek channel as it goes toward the river. I was using minnows and jigs tipped with minnows. Caught about equally on both. Remember there is a 3 pole per person limit on Neely Henry and Weiss lakes in Alabama. Everyone please keep giving reports on how you are doing good or bad so it will encourage everyone else.

Roger you are da man in this hot weather and that spider rig of yours!

[RogerA]

Wind, my worst enemy. Fished this morning for 3 1/2 hours and quit because the wind was just too much to fight against. All my good places were right out where the wind was the worst. Still caught 12 crappie and a couple of trash fish. Lost several more because the bite was real light. Water temps were 82-83. Caught them 12-14 feet deep. Tried deeper and shallower but no luck. They were not pulling any water and I think if they had been the bite would have been better.
