Ouachita is waking from its summer slumber
The word at Ruth's bait shop is that several reported limits this week.
They are on the brush piles early, 9-12 feet, responding best to chartreuse and black and chartreuse and white jigs.
I got there late today and caught 7 keepers on minnows; the two largest were 12 inchers--one of which was a black-nose. Couldn't buy a hit on a jig or jig & minnow combo. Found mine on the shady side of 12" standing timber, 10 feet + or -.
Going Saturday...early. ;)
