Ranger - I fished the Navigational channel on Friday/Saturday/Sunday in the oxbows as well. Friday I tried vertical jigging brush piles and didn't get a bump all day. Saturday and Sunday I spider rigged with minnows in 15 to 20 FOW with our bait suspended 10 to 12 feet. It wasn't a real fast pace, but the fish we were catching were of quality size. I noticed one of the fish had a little blood in the eggs, therefore we should be a couple of weeks away from the beginning of spawn. The water temp was 55.2 degrees.
