Decent Day on Nimrod (pics)

Things started out windy and slow this morning. Didn't get out there till about 8:00 and the wind was already blowing pretty good. Fished a few regular spots and didn't mark any shad and couldn't get on any good fish. Made a move and went shallower and found shad suspending at 3 feet in 6 FOW. Started tipping jigs with "minners" and it was on! Caught a lot of them out away from brush but tight to the shad balls.
Purple/Chart. Umbrella tubes did well as did my usual Pink/Chart. Midsouth tubes but the Lime/Chart. Glow Midsouth on an 1/8 oz. "Green" Chart. Jig head was what they really wanted!

I managed a decent limit about the time I ran out of minnows

I had planned on vertical jigging today and didn't take many minnows with me. The bite was fast and furious right up till the last minnow was used. I pushed the same jigs that I had been wearing them out on right thru the same area without the minnows on them and hardly got a bite. Should be a fun Fall Camp!

Great catch and picts

Nice mess. Looks like there still hanging out in the same general area.

Nice catch and good pictures. Keep up the great post.:ThumbsUp

Wanted to come saturday, but looks like working fridat night. Uncle Larry is there somewhere, bet he s catching them.

Wow 1/8 oz .... I dont think I have any of those.

Nice catch. Don't let these fellers on here know you use minners. You're gonna catch alot more than crappie now! I absolutely love that cleaning station, ever time I see it, I daydream about building one in my back yard. Good job on the fish, and thanks for cheering up the Minnow Club!

Nice haul.
