| Fishing Notes |
|---|
Today I was only able to get on the water for a few hours this afternoon from about 4:00PM to 7. I caught several small fish, most of them on the spinner bank some of the bites were right on the bank and others were off the bank about 10-15 yards. My graph was loaded with fish, including big schools of crappie. I threw a lot of baits but just could not get any big bites. I got off the water about 2 minutes before a huge thunderstorm passed through. I continue to give the buzz bait at least 30-45 minutes effort each day, last spring I had some incredible days with the Crock-o-Gator Buzz Bait. I have been throwing the Dirks jig quite a bit the last few weeks with good success. However, today, I modified a Crock-o-Gator jig, by trimming some of the strands to give it a thinner look and smaller profile, similar to the Dirks Jig and had several small fish bite it. |
