Spider Rigged with the neighbor today. We caught 120+ all on minnows with 21 being keepers. He's 58 yrs old and hasn't been fishing since he was a teenager. He is wanting to go again next week (I've got him hooked)!!!

Headin back to Acton in the morning if you see me Spider Rigging stop by and say hi. And I wont be were everybody else is. I will be on the North end of the lake. I usually have it to myself. I have a aluminum Sea-Nymph boat and Honda outbord.
Good luck out there. I'll probably at EF tomorrow.

Man after my own heart, especially there. Bite has slowed considerable though, just a heads up
Went back today to Acton as planned Hillbilly was right it really slowed down but fish were bigger. Caught 93 with 26 keepers. The big one of the day was 14 1/4 weighing 1.56 lbs. Fished for 3.5 hrs with co-worker and son. Can't post pictures yet trying to get them out of photobucket.
Still can't get pictures from photobucket to CC.com. To clarify what Hillbilly said earlier we had to move from 4-6ft of water(earlier in the week) to 6.5-9ft of water. Watertemp was warmer in the deeper water. And I also had to slow the I-pilot down from .7mph( earlier in the week) to .4-.5mph.
Nice report Milky. That's what I found yesterday too. Fished a little deeper and fished a little slower. Of course it did help when a friend pm'd me and told me where to look.![]()
Are you trolling at slower speeds because the fish are biting slower or are you using the same jig weigth and the slower speed positions the bait deeper.....?
Have you tried going up a tad in weight and back to .7mph? Covering more water just might help to fill the Lucky bucket.... just a thought.
I was out Sunday and found fish in 6" to 1.5' in the early morning. Later as the sun broke through the clouds the fish backed off a bit.
The majority were males in dark suits.
