    Default Cold brutal east wind


    Wind was so bad and cold yesterday . Had trouble getting on fish whether on cover or roaming . Most the the fish were in 6 to 8' of water . I tried switching to a bigger bait to fight the wind and get it down fast . I used a 1/4 oz insert head of a 2.5'' Southern pro tube in orange /chartreuse . They seemed to hit light and several good ones pulled off as they just barely hooked even with going from #2 to a 1/0 jig hook . Released a bunch and lost quite a few which is unusual . Flipping that bigger jig with a 13' Huckabee Phantom jig pole . I saw what I had read that lithium batteries do not perform as well in freezing temps . My battery read 15.2 volts early but after a day on the water it was still reading 14.2 volts .

    I used a 1/4 oz insert head of a 2.5'' Southern pro tube in orange /chartreuse .

    I looked at the Timmy Tom site, not sure what "insert head" is it the tear drop shaped tube jig head? And not sure which model tube you are using? I use lots of the minnow tube but always trying to learn. You can ignore or PM if it is secret you prefer not to share. Thanks

    I am not sure if Timmy Tom '' Tim Cumbie '' makes this size or not . You can find on several online stores. This one needs smoothed up , not made by Tim his are always clean ready to fish . Found this photo online not his .

    Pico, Mitch has some nice insert heads.
    Think he’s a sponsor here on CDC.
