Yea, bites on LM right now are very very light....use your most sensitive rods and watch those rod tips for the slightest change in position (up or down) and be ready to set the hook before he spits it back out. I would probably stay away from a lot of structure while spider rigging until I had a bit more experience because it has the potential of being very frustrating .... then be sure to rig weedless. Both the Charlie Brewer Sliders and the BPS Snagless Super Squirts work very well in heavy cover. I only head for the stump fields when I absolutely can't catch them anywhere else. I like that open water!! BTW, I'm getting reports that one or two of the river lakes are starting to turn on a bit and I'm trying to make time to get over there. Most of my fishing has been in LM lately and it has been a hit or miss proposition....not a sure thing like the past few years. Two Saturdays ago I caught six striped bass for every crappie!
