Sam talked me into going fishing this morning - hahaha! emoLaugh We put in around 8am and it was very cloudy and some sprinkles but the main weather stayed away. We tried fishing jigs only today and we ended up boating around 30 fish by the time we quit around noon. It was a great day. Started out catching spots and then Sam hooked about a 4 lb LM. Sam beat me this time - his best five would have been around 14lbs and my best five would have been around 10 lbs. The spots were crushing the jigs. If you missed the first bite often another would grab it. We are still perfecting our jig fishing. Lost as many as we boated. Still getting the hang of setting the hook solidly. Used one once football jigs with craw trailers today. Later in the morning we tried a white jig and could not get any takers. Tired top water and nothing there either. Tried cranks and no luck. There were fish busting on the surface and we did see some small schools of very small shad but could not get the bass to bite except dragging a jig across the bottom. I left my camera today so no pics. Oh the highlight of the day was hooking about a 10 pound drum which fought hard. Thought I had my big bass. Sam also got one about 7 lbs. Great day on the water - Tight lines.
