Orange jig heads worked best and color jib body had to have some Chartreuse in it. Wind went down at lunch but trolling motor issues sent us home early. Saw a lot of fish on brush but we did not take a minnow.
Going back Monday and this time I am going to Sinclair just for grins and giggles. Oh yea, taking a few minnows this time for a plan B.
Good job ! Drop some those jigs in da brush they will eat those too!
yes jigs with a little slab sauce . some time they like a smaller jig i always
try them both.

Actually I think he meant Anise Oil. I was just kidding.
I am sure glad you didnt say it was home brewed. Sure sounded like it could have been painful :biggrin
You guys are killing me...:Rofl
Yep, Anise Oil is correct. 54 years ago me and Brother in Law went to a Bass seminar and they recommended Anise oil. We found it worked great. I still keep some but WD40 works as good as any sauce you can buy.Quote:
