Took a buddy in his boat today. We used Huckabee Trident and Phantom 13' jig poles . Pitched 1/4 oz jigs with Southern Pro 2.5 '' Little Hustlers in orange/chartreuse. Windy from the east most of the time . Rain yesterday had creeks running and muddy. Trash drifts were bad in spots . We caught a big mess but way short of our limits . Took awhile to find them using livescope . Tough day but looks like weather may just get worse .

That is a nice mess. Quality over Quantity
We kept 30 and a Green Carp with some good fish. Tough day but beats staying homeQuote:

Is that all you use is tube jigs? I’ve thought about limiting my tackle box to one style and just different colors. Seems like you wear them out on the tubes
[QUOTE=ConwayCrappie1;4255579]Use 2 baits 99% of the time . Both Southern Pro tubes . Umbrella 2'' in utc11 purple/chartreuse on #1 hook / 1/8 oz insert jighead . Little Hustler 2.5'' orange/chartreuse glow on #1/0 hook / 1/4 oz insert jighead. Can carry all the baits needed in a sandwich baggie in my shirt pocket . Kept a limit again today for my visiting friends . I don't feel the need for loads of baits in a rainbow of colors. Presentation and confidence is what you need most. Livescope is proving daily what I been preaching about fishing for years . You gotta put it in their face .:twocentsQuote:

Simplifying fishing is what my wife and I need. We fish from bank and we are aging. Toting our wagon full of chairs and everything else has become a chore that I don't look forward to.
