You will likely be fishing Blood then. It sounds like your game plan is a good one. I have been finding them scattered from 3 to 20 feet deep. Scattered has been the key. Keep working and culling the 9.999 inch fish and you just might likely end up with a mess. One thing a friend and I have noticed is how black/chartreuse jig bodies have been working better than any other colors. At least that is for us. We both have used that color on regular jig heads, roadrunners, etc. Of course that could change tomorrow. Minnows are catching them as well.

Good luck!
