You all well know how a good rap with a ball peen hammer feels I am pretty sure .
Well imagine a fish hitting your jig with one and how that feels up on the other end in your hand .
That is how the bite was yesterday ,along with the hit and run version mixed in here and there .
Some hit it like a channel cat and ran off in that trying to rip the rod out of your hand style .
The rest of the fish just hit it like they had a ball peen hammer .
Man I like a nice strong fall bite
for whatever reason lots of contrast was best and solid colors were not as well liked .
fish were best in less than 10 feet of water all around whatever cover was available .
needed a light jacket early at 50 outside and was still wearing it when I left at 10 am , started at 8 am and EVEN got bit right on the dock before we got in the boat in 6 foot of water !
yes we had a box full when we left as well .
KABOOM is the word yawl
