The ones on the left are my muddy water jigs and the right are my clear water picks. This box is to go to (bribe) a friend from another OH site who promised to show me some private access points that i do not know of. I have a whole other box of just plain black jigs that work either way but better in muddy water. I also carry along a bunch of smaller size bass tubes, with the solid body black/red flake venom super do's being my favorite.

The small spinnerpaits do work well in the summertime, and weed out alot of the smaller fish. But is pretty hard to find ones that run true in the current. If they are off even just a little, they end up spinning. Twister tail trailers make it worse!!! I prefer the colorado blades over the willow blades just because i can run them slower and still keep them up out of the rocks.

When the river clears up more and slows down... ...all swap jigs will be fished and results posted for sure.

I'm digging into your box today,lol.

I finaly got out today and put a few fish in my hands... WooHoo!!!!! Was throwing one of the swapmeister's jig.

Still at work now but will post pics later tonight after the kids hit the pillows. Stay tuned......

This is the first day i've been out in a long tim. High water and very busy at work has been keeping me in the office at lunch. Anyway - I'm going back out TOMORROW!!!! Had some fun.

I was using Crappiekiller3's jig with the black head - orangish chenille - black tail with green flash.

First fish of the afternoon...


Suprised me! Pulled a bunch of drag on my UL and was pretty fun. Couldn't get any bites in the hole after i caught him, think he woke up the neighbors.

Then I did get bit from 2 of the fish i was after....




They wanted it ripped fast today. Took me seeing one chasing my jig as i was reeling fast the last couple feet back to me. After i started fast ripping i go 2 other hit/misses and saw several other followers. Both were pretty small but fun either way.

So far i have a picture of a fish on a jig from everyone in the swap but my own. Hopefully get out again tomorrow...
