Fished Sugar creek today. Caught all my fish long lining . The fish all hit a pink head jig with a june bug body/chartreuse tail fished a double rig about twelve foot deep. Only had one rod set up that way so change up another rod and caught on that one. No bites on any other color. Fished from the island to the main river but all fish came from the area between island and timber buoys. Water temp 53

Thursday Feb. 7 Update: (not sure if folks care this late after a trip or not?...)
Fished 7:30am-5pm stayed around sugar creek
Fish: (1) 14" crappie (personal best)
Jig: Blue Ice Baby Shad Jig, 1/16 head
Learned: I probably should have moved to some different locations when I stopped seeing fish. Also learned spider rigging in timber area can be catastrophic to your lines.
Hooked what I believe was a striper, it took off with my drag screaming, fun fight for a min on a 12' crappie pole then broke up leader. Was pleased that the leader for my jigs worked and did not loose everything, just the jig it bit.
