keith29 - I was using bright white and chartreuse tube with yellow-treuse glow 1/8 oz. jighead.I also had some minnows but they liked the jig better.

Brad - Did you get your HDS ? yet.

Yodibuzz - Last few trips have been pretty cold and not very many fish. Been skunked more than once this winter. Water is very cold for this time of year and I don't have a lot of stuff out real deep. Hard to put stake beds in 25' to 30' and get them straight up.Something to work on. Need a good Ingrams Barge Boat and a hairy faced pilot to pull some big dead trees out into the deep creeks!! Felt good to feel that thump first day of the year. Maybe a good sign I hope.
