Toledo 3/23... Day late dollar short
1 Attachment(s)
I guess I "Should've bee there yesterday" as the phrase goes. Weekend rains had the water level a bit higher than expected. Fish were holding tight to beds that were there before the rains. Everything you would expect to see in 3-6 foot was now in 7-9 foot. Had to back off a bit to get bit and found most of the beds in the 7-9 ft range. Huge run off dirtied up most of my spawn flats in the mid lake area. Large amounts of pollen made the clear water, when i could find it, next to impossible to sight fish. Cold front had the fish lockjaw. In addition to that my father in law's boat ran like absolute SH... i . . T.
Did manage to boat a few on wacky worms. Broke off on a giant in some buck brush and lost two more that i couldnt see. Bite was very subtle and if you didnt pull the trigger quick you missed em bc they were spitting the baits quick. Big fish went 4lb. Struggles like these force me into new areas and I love every chance i get to explore. Attachment 84483 |
Good report Eddie.

I've had worse days Eddie. Good report. Try out a pack of these in 1/0 for your wacky rigs. Significantly increased my hook up: landing ratio with wacky rigs. Caught some pigs with these little guys. They sell them at Tid bits as well http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Owner...age-ORNHW.html

I have been using the Falcon Lures wacky hook with the weed guard. |

hmmm. i use the o rings around my worms so i dont lose alot. but i guess losing a big fish is worth replacing an occasional senko. Will try the alberto... looks alot easier than uni to uni. Thinking about switchin to a light wire weedguard like the Gamakatsu wide gap finesse hook... Weed guard is rubber and not wire. I used to use VMC but the wires dont last.
I rig super slick braid and fluoro 15lb to my wacky on a MH quantum smoke baitcast/openface set up just so i can lay the hammer to get hook penetration. Only thing i use spincast on is my deepwater finesse tactics... shaky head and drop shot on Medium action Cumara. Just preference i guess. |
