Caught these yesterday in Monroe-same depth as last week, trolling jigs and minnow tipped jiggs. The biggest fish (specks) seemed to hit a plane jig. The hybrids seemed to hit both the same and were caught in the river north of monroe and they reeked havoc on our crappie gear. We ended up with 6 but broke off close to twice that many more.

Special thanks to all of you who have posted up reports the last week or so as I've never really fished monroe. Hunted it plenty and have fished the river south but never really fished it seriously as I have great speck fishing closer to my house. My friend lives on the coast though so we met in the middle last saturday to give it a shot and had a pretty good day.

Here are some of yesterday's best


hybrids


Total bag for the day...if we'd had heavier tackle we would have hurt the hybrids but they were big fish and we were way undergunned. I don't know if they always act like they were yesterday as I've caught very few but they reminded me of tuna fishing. We'd see fish busting bait and troll over to them and 3 or 4 would hit like a freight train all at once.
