Larry,
I'm betting weather is playing a huge part but, for what it is worth, Maribou jigs have been dynamite for us this year. Lime green hair, and White hair have been the ticket. They have sparkle flakes in them. Most of the time we fish them bare, but we do tip with a spike or a minnow from time to time. Always have a set rig with a minnow on it. Most nights, the Maribou jigs catch early, then we get them on minnows. Just something to try. It is my first time with them and I am planning on putting some in the boat for soft water fishing.
