    Default Barren 2/21


    Left the boat at home and walked the bank yesterday afternoon and put the muddy water theories to test. Started out casting a jig along a laydown or two and picked up a few. Then I started casting a jig under a float about two foot down in the shallows and it was on. Like Whiskers said the blacks were up shallow and I had a ball. Wound up with 27 nice ones on my stringer before I had to head in at dark, 25 blacks and 2 whites. Thanks for the sound advice here on the board, made for a great day, when my friends told me that I was crazy for fishing in the mud.

    Awesome! I'm going to have to try it. Were they slamming the bait or just barely hitting it? I found some 45 degree water on a small lake yesterday and tried them for a bit. Was seeing fish on the electronics but couldn't make em eat. Maybe I need to try your method. Great info!

    They were slamming it pretty hard at times but i was also missing quite a few at other times maybe
    because they were just grabbing the end of my tube or too much slack line because of the wind blowing so hard. Getting ready to take my nine year old daughter and go with my brother in the boat to see what we can do this afternoon. Lake has came up at least two feet but maybe we can find them.

    Usually around this time they start to catch them good real shallow way up the creeks. Beaver and Skaggs in particular. I don't know much about those arms as they aren't really on my side of the lake but you usually read reports of it about now.
