well it was my first time as well but the ones i was using and the one i saw being used are to small for a skirt, they are really small. the addition of the nibble also produced a fish or two. the way it was being fished was drop to the bottom and slowly retrieved, they either hit on the fall or the retrieve, also some jigging was done. the slow retrieve also produced a small saugar. i don't know what the best time is to be there but i heard some one had caught 17 at 2:30 in the morning but by the time i got there no one had any and i come in and get one then nothing else. i tried everything i could and left at around 9:00 and headed over to the broken bridge and got nothing there but i did see some guys catch some small white bass, they released 2 crappie.

bassnbro is right just drop the jig all the way to the bottom and reel really REALLY slow. If you are using a spring indicator watch for it to bend ever so slighty and set the hook. Otherwise watch the tip of your pole and if it moves down in any amount and you feel a really light dead-weight feel set the hook. Blue/Green and Black/Red or Black/Orange are the go to colors, they have all 3 in 1/64 and 1/32 size at the lake office. I use mostly 1/64 oz. Try the 4 corners inside of the dock first, have had better luck in the corners this year. If the banana jigs aren't seeming to workout switch to a little 1/64 or 1/32 oz. hair jig or maribou and pitch it out, wait 5-10 seconds, and retrieve slowly. No particular color seems to do better than another for those, even though I did see gray work really well one day. I've used chartreuse and red and caught fish on both.
Sorry for the long reply, just thought I'd help out a little too. Good luck!

I was there Friday for 4 hours and only 2 fish caught. Really slow there right now

I was there yesterday from about 8am until about 1pm.....caught 3 small fish (was there the day before with similar results). There was another guy there that said he got there at 3 in the morning, and caught fish from about 4 to 7am. I just can't get my butt up and around to be there that early. He was using a double jig set up.....second jig about a foot above the other. I will try it again next week. I have ordered some spring tips for my rods.....I think I may be missing some due to the light bump they make when they take the jig in their mouth. I have tried every color, and haven't found any particular one that is better than the other. Some guys have used minnows, and I haven't seen anything caught with them so far.

I was there Sunday Morning and it was horribly slow. I was there at 4am and caught a little largemouth right of the bat then one other small crappie and that was it. It was slow for everyone.
Corvette, once you use a spring bobber, you will be amazed at what you have probably been missing. Sometimes that spring will just barely move. I just watch my bobber pretty much the entire time. Good luck!

Do they have spring bobbers at the bait store there by the dock?
-
They do I believe if not hit zeiners
-
They did stock them (spring bobbers) at the bait shop at the lake, but are currently out of stock, and not sure when they will get more.
