I've been working on becoming better at patterning the fish. Here is what I figured out today.

Fish were spawned out and holding in 3 to 30ft of water. The bite was on minnows, jigs tipped with minnows, jigs, road runners fished fast and slow, trolling and single poling. The hot colors were chartreuse, pink, purple, black, and popsicle.


Everyone I talked to said I shoulda been there last week.

Here's the useful information:

If you use the Lindy 2 hook "Capps and Coleman" rigs, check for line wear just below the weight. Had 2 to break off today in the same place. Maybe that's why they were on sale cheaper than you could make them yourself.

Nimrod. Had one of those 1/8 sickles that I tie on to break on me today. Fortunately it was on a hang up and not a fish. I know that they aren't the same quality as the Matzuo. I think it's EBAY trying to keep a fisherman down.
