We fished around the State dock today, went way out along the east shore. Fishing started off hot then died completely. We moved to another spot, only marked a couple of fish and only had a couple of bites. Moved again closer to the dock area where the masses were and hardly marked any, but managed to land a small brookie and one real nice 3.5 lb Cutt. While I was cleaning him just now, in his gut was a 4.5" sculpin, hardly digested. My question is, why can't I ever catch anything on big bait? This one hit on the smallest jig I was using. I have tried fishing with crawdad and sculpin size lures before and have never caught anything on them up there? Any ideas? BTW, I put the sculpin in the freezer and plan to use him next time out.
