Okay since we are all sharing secrets, jigs with a small curly tail, the smaller the better. All colors, the bass will usually leave it alone but once in a while you will catch one while targeting blue's.. The key is to make sure that you have your asprin in the truck cause your shoulder and wrist will be killing from pulling in blue's all day. I know you hear that LMB are the best fighting fish, I do not agree.. When a blue turns sideways you have to wait for them to turn back or you will be fighting for several minutes to get them in.
The next thing we like to do is look for any type of nest. Then cast outside the nest and drag through it just a slight jig motion... If you do not catch the blue in the first couple of jigs bring it back and toss left or right of the nest cause you have spoked them, but they will hit. AnglerDan and I have never gone away without at least a 70 - 100 fish day a piece.
