Where?

I fished a gravel pit and the jig I used is called a Gitzit. I couldn't think of the name of the jig yesterday.

Anyone know anything about the bite at Eastfork?

I heard the water is high and muddy, I will be at Acton in the morning

I may go to Acton too. From bank;not getting out boat, near sugar camp and a spot between the beach and the marina. If I do go to EF on Sunday or late Saturday I'll try Todd Run and Kain Run.

I fished the bank last Sunday, the water was muddy and was windy, managed 6 dinks with light bites, used a 1/32 and a 1/16th jig tipped with minnows 3 to 5 ft down on the North side of sugar camp. Im think they will turn on this weekend, reported water temps last week were 55 degrees. PS they are having a meeting this coming Tuesday at 7:00pm at the lodge to vote on the Hp rule, We have a group coming to cast votes, hope you can make it.

I think on a small lake like Acton 10 HP is plenty. Can't make it down to vote though. Work second shift. I'll post my weekend fishing results Sun. or Mon. Unless it's hot then I'll post sooner.

10 hp is plenty but a higher hp motor controlled would make same wake. I'm all for allowing larger engines at idle on Hueston Woods. A lot of guys with 9.9 stickers on their motors are actually 15 hp motors you can tell when they open them up.
