ice jigs are good for deep fish ,i like bouncing a big plastic swimbait off the bottom as i drift,,,,,,,,,,,,,,T/O,,,,,,,,
I'll have to try that Bob. That day is coming. Was out there today MLK day. Bite was just OK and only good until about 8:00am. Got a few schoolies and one 6 1/2lb.
no, it's an odd minnow looking thing with a hook on the nose, tail, and one on the belly..... http://www.ebay.com.au/bhp/ice-jig-lures
That's a bait I probably would have never given a second look at walking the isles at BP.
Thanks Pat
Nice job Pat. Jealous. Ankle surgery tomorrow - out probably at least 2 weeks for fishing. I'll let you know when I'm ready! Til then, keep posting.
I fished the lake this morning. Threw 4" swim baits until 7:30 when they shut down. I got 1 at 7#, 6#, 3#, and 2 at 2#. Then I tried trolling until 9:00 for nothing. Bass fished for an hour for nothing. Then I tries Dead Sticking in deep water for another hour for nothing. Off the water at 11:30.
Looks like the pattern is the same. The bite seems to end a few minutes earlier each day. We'll see what happens with the new moon....
