The water was murkier than usual but normal for this time of year with night time temps dropping into the low 50's/upper 40's. The fish were nipping at my normal size lures making me downsize. For no reason I chose a florescent orange tail just to see what would hit it. Sunfish, white perch and crappie suspended in the middle of no where slammed it.

Later, the same lure was getting multiple nips on-the-retrieve back to the boat, so I went down to a 1" Bass Assassin spike tail grub with the belly cut off rigged on a 1/64 oz jig. Found out what was was nipping: small yellow and white perch and sunfish having some fun!

Now I gotta make some micro baits in my workshop which will include tying some 1/64 and 1/32 oz jigs using my dog's hair (better than deer hair). A float may come in handy not only for casting those light jigs but for a super slow presentation.

Those little guys are a blast and a challenge to catch especially on lures as long as they are!
