Skillet,
What lake were you located?
Duncan over by Caledonia, (Not far from us) has been good to me in the past.
Check along the West bank on the North side of the lake. Better yet, I'm not typing this all out, here is a map.
1. Minnow under a slip bobber, through all the brush and wood piles.
2. As above along the lilly pads next to the retainer wall towards the pontoon to the West.
3. All around the Willow tree
4. Under the Willow tree
5 Along the edge of the drain creek. Have found them suspended.
I have seen a couple of old guys tossing plastics, and cranking them back in SLOW, and getting some. One of them did it right by me once. Asked how I was doing, and continued on........
SO I tried it, and for 45 minutes of testing, and trying ever color combination that I had of jig, and tube, INCLUDING matching what he had, I had caught nothing. Not sure why, but its "Do-able" but I usually use just a minnow.
Its good fishing until the water skiers come out. If I go on a weekend, I am off the lake by 10am. More cuz I don't want to get burnt, and the skiers are starting to come out.
AVOID on a holiday weekend at all costs. The locals at times are NUTS
