Hey Kent!
I used about a 1/4" chunk of chub meat to tip the jigs with. I tried a worm once or twice, and they wouldn't touch the worms. I like to buy the chubs at sportsmans that come with 6 chubs in the pack. I cut them up the night before into little 1/4" chunks then refreeze them in baggies. Makes it easy to re-bait the jig each time!
I noticed this time that the fish are fighting a LOT harder than they were a month ago (especially the Rainbows!). I loosened my drag a few times and had some fun with a few of them!
The other two fisherman in the boat with me were also using chub meat. White tube jigs were the ticket, but even when I ran out of white ones, the speckled green ones worked just as good.

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
