Light bite, I missed a lot of fish, they tore off or I just was not quick enough. As always they wanted white on Hot pink head. I caught more on jigs than I did with minnows. Tapouts fav - Wassappahas in white/char The depth ya got to figure out! after all it is tournament day at Bobs fishing hole tomorrow.

Those will fry up just fine.

Went to NW on Friday, Dec 11, for 6 hours. Caught about 30 in 6' of water. They were all small, between 9 and 11 inches. I kept 16 of the biggest ones for the table. Water temp on Friday was 51* at the surface.

Caught a few Grendel's. The biggest was probably about 12 - 16 lbs. It was only the second time I have been since April.

Did you fish Bob's Fishing Hole tournament Sunday. I did with JC. I too kept missing the bites. But I am just in the learning stages of tighlining.

I had planned to, however I had a pipe with a hole in it leaking behind the hot water heater. Big mess, but now I have a new water heater. Soaked the whole crawl space with hot water/steam. I have 2 fish finders and they differ by 10 degrees, so the water was 53 or 63 and it must have been 53.

I didn't realize anyone else fished with Wasshoppahs. I have had good days there with that color. I normally just use them for vertical jigging but one day switched to casting them and did well.
