Heading that way in the morning if all goes well. t.slabseeker? Care to give a few details??? Thanks!
Made it down to GR today. Temp 82 water clear using minnows. Like t.slabseeker catch rate was about 10 - 1. Lots of fish but only 10 keepers 10'' or better and one big cat. Not much traffic and it was a good day to be out. T.slabkeeper~~thanks for the advice.
So were you guys spider rigging? Some great fun and alot of fish caught. Congrats.:)
Yes gabowman I was spider riggin double minnow rigs.
Fished Green yesterday Solo 24 keepers with 5 over 10 " none over 12 " . the fish are not hard to find look for the 15 boat regattas and start there.
Also spider rig. Minnows. Rocketman has it right. Look for the boats
What is the best to keep minners alive this time of year?
Good insulated bucket with a bubble machine runnin all day good luck.
Thanks t.slabseeker! Do you guys put ice in the water?
Good bucket with an aerator running. No ice but probably wouldn't hurt to put a frozen bottle in the bucket.
We use a floating minnow bucket, tie it, and let it float along behind the boat.
I use ice constantly with the minnows and it works great, just dont get them too cold because they won't last long when you drop them from 60 degree water to 90 degree lake water. Sometimes Ill put like 8 dozen in a big bucket with lots of ice and an aerator and keep moving them a dozen at a time from the big bucket to a smaller insulated bucket just a bit cooler than the lake water and use those to fish with. The majority of your minnows will be fine in the very cold water consuming less oxygen as their metabolism slows(sometume they look dead if its too cold, just add some warm water and theyll kick back up). What stsbury said works as well too.
