    Default Got em good today

    Snuck out this afternoon with father and took him on a deep water excursion on the south end. Water temps were bouncing between 33.5-34 but we actually whacked em pretty darn good. Put together a nice little piece of the puzzle while out there today and that helped a ton. Fish are absolutely hammering the jig and some are enhailing it so far that blood is coming out of their gills from it being down their throat... thats when you know they are a thumpin it good! We used 8th and quarter oz heads paired with slab stalkers and the thumper tails from Hook it Bait. The thumper tail actually plum wore em out today, best color was the blue top with silver sparkle underside, dont know the name... maybe pat can chime in. Fish were caught 12-16ft deep over 18-30fow. Double Limit. Caught a ton. Real good afternoon with father... Ill be gone until next Sunday so get out and enjoy this nice weather coming tomorrow and saturday and post some pics to keep me living through yall. Go get em!

    That would be the Blue Ice that the Crab Orchard guys keep wiping us out of.

    Have fun, stay out of the bars and away from "Loose Women". When in doubt to what Ol XXL would do and you won't have any trouble.

    grub- we dont need any of that for sure!

    pat- go get em- looks like its going to be a real nice day for it! post a report with you catch so I can have somethin to look at on the way south.

    carpboy- have fun, be careful that far north right now if you;re not familiar with the exact channel. Fish on the north end are hit or miss right now for bigguns, but when you find them...look out! have fun and good luck
