[cool][size 1]Glad to help where I can, fishluvr. If I had all the answers about what to use where and when, I would have been retired wealthy a long time ago. [/size]
[size 1]All I can suggest is stay tuned to the many reports that come in from the folks on this forum. Pay attention to what is suggested, but be prepared to have to experiment on every trip. It is rare for the same conditions to hold from one day to the next...or even from one hour to the next on some days.[/size]
[size 1]If you go out with a good assortment of sizes and colors of jigs...and some good baits to sweeten the hooks...then you just need to find the fish and serve them up a buffet table. Let them pick what they want. The variables are always going to be what depth of water are they holding in...and at what level...and then how active are they. Sometimes they smack anything you drop down to them. Other times you can't buy a bite. That's why they call it fishing...not HARVESTING.[/size]
