Listen to Indyfisherman, he's got some killer photos to prove his worth. I'm going down 5/5, a week earlier than you and kind of wish I had waited another week until the 12th like you. I'm just hoping for some decent action that sees us catch lots of redear which is what I mainly target. This will be the first time down for my family, we're staying at Barkley's Buzzard Rock Marina which is on the Northern end. I'll give a full report when I come home on the 12th. I've always used long shank #4 hooks, with redworms as the bait of choice because I've never had great success with nightcrawlers like many people claim. I've never used any type of jig either, we'll see.
