    Default Monday (11-13) on Monroe - I think I might be doing something wrong !!


    I got to the ramp around 7AM and I think I got the last parking spot. I headed out to where I saw the fleet and set up behind them, letting the wind push me along their path. I no sooner got the rods set when the first one went off. I'm off to a good start! Then it slowed down. I made the first pass then turned and set for a second pass. Still nothing.

    I pull the rods and make a run to my old hot spot. I did a little better ,I picked up 2 more slabs. But I'm still not hitting them. I pull the rods again and head further down the lake. I set for a final pass of the morning ( the winds were starting to pickup and give me a little trouble. I set a path for the ramp and fish my way in. I pick up 3 more keepers and throw back a few small ones. Not bad !! I head in.

    At the ramp I talk to a guy and he tells me he got 18. I the parking lot i talk to another person who said he limited out. I must be doing something wrong. I am not catching that many. I think I'll have to go give it another try and see if I can figure it out.


    another good day at the office !

    Pull faster. Start at 1.3 and go up to as fast as 1.8. Them fish get to where they want to chase bait and you cant out run them. I have even pulled as fast as 2.5 and caught fish on Monroe.

    SHHHH

    Jk, I usually start at 1.2-1.5 and jump up from there. I like doing donuts around everyone thinking I'm going way to fast. 2 weeks ago, you couldnt slow down enough for them. Seems to change all the time. This could get interesting on the new 1lb test outfits.
