The Hot Lure?

[PROCHRIS]

We are heading up to the big pond next weekend, are glow jigs still working the best. Are Shinners and fatheads the key bait. Hows the water clarity, im bringing my camera and last time we were up there we could not see to much. Any info would be great.

SEE YA ON THE LAKE

Was slow last weekend. Two of us got our limit in two days. 13"-16" Sauger and Walleye. Fished 8-5 glued to the flasher. Small flourescent yellow or green with a medium crappie minnow on 4lb test. Shiners and fatheads were not good. Caught 25-30 fish each day. Good luck.

If you are fishing an area with rock on the bottom, I would bring some northland jigging spoons that have the rattle in them. I fish out of arnesons and all the drivers state its the goto lure the past few years and with the water being so cloudy this year the sound should help out alot. I put 2 minnow heads on the spoon and bounce it off the rocks and most of the time you will not see the fish on the vex when they hit since they are right on the bottom. The larger spoons seemed to have worked best for me the past few years. I use a deadstick for the other line and keep it 2 to 4 inches off the bottom. Although I have not been up there yet this year and don't know if this pattern is still working, but will be up there at the end of the month. Hope this helps out and good luck up there.

try a large 2 inch gold buckshot rattle spoon,with a big shiner head hooked through the lips.its like the seccond largest northland makes.some store dispays,they are the largest and some stores do not have them this big,and some even have a size larger, but it is 2 inch.they make a bigger one but havnt tried it.the jig i had has a little green on one edge and a little orange on the other edge and mostly gold in the center.

had an 8 pounder slam one the other mornin like 4 feet up from the bottom.i seen him,reeled up,and he swam right over.left 2 big teethmarks

*give em somethin to look at, and they will swim right over.

**and when u get one to look at your lure, hold it STILL, or it will spook.

use 4 lb line and you shouldnt have any problem feeling bites. keep that rod in your hand.

I don't know fella's, I probably have more lures, spoons, pimples, jigging raps then Carter has pills, but for me, when all else fails, 1/8 oz., or 1/4 oz. fireball jig in orange/chartruese has saved the day more then I can say. Try it on the dead stick, but be ready!! Good fishn', The Bumble
