    Default Guide Report Question?


    Reading a report from one of the local guides on Truman and one of his statements were " you really needed to get there attention " not sure what he meant by this? Any ideas ?

    I'm going to take a stab at it, but I'm sure he's talking about actively jigging, using a color that is attention getting and maybe using bait on your jig. I've read a lot of reports of Road Runners being used and it's that blade catching light and the fish's attention.

    Tom, it is being tuff, our fish have been on roadrunner head, black/chartreuse or red/chartreuse 2” ripple tail grub. Today fish were scattered 1’ to 10’ on bank to 20’ out. Yesterday they were suspended about 8’down in 14fow, but same bait. Cast slow reel, Hope this helps.

    Think guide is referring to many jigpole and dead stick. Every one I have seen catching have been throwing moving baits or tossing corks right near bank keep things moving

    Bet he's using livescope and dropping it right on their head! We seen serval using mine but only a few would bite. This time of year they are actively swimming around and away from the jig plus I had Joe in my boat which don't help!

    Pitch your jig as close to the bank as you can get and let it fall back on a tight line, when it stops just let it hang there for 30 seconds before you make the next pitch. Worked for us.

    I know you're fishing for those bigger toads, so hopefully you're fishing out from the banks a bit. If that's all I were fishing for right now, I'd be dipping every tree near the first break from the bank to find a female waiting to move up. But if you're looking for the tug, just pitch to the bank. AAMOF, that would be a good thing to try until you found one with a bunch of males on the bank...THEN move off to the deeper timber to get the females.

    Use that 360 of yours to find submerged stumps if you have to.

    had a lot of success last couple of weeks on couple of different lakes in spawn with using small bobber, 16th head with curly tail jig in chartreuse. moving slowly parallel to bank sometimes right along or dipping bank for males in tuxedo's. find being on bank much better than in boat for this. casting out farther and then moving back slowly picking up the bigger females that way. just how I and my friends like to roll.

    usually a tight line guy and do that a lot as well.

    I think you nailed it. The guides seem to scope almost exclusively and I’ve ready many reports about trying to hit them with the bait and aggravate them into biting.

    I got to use a camera to icefish clear water and we had to bounce the bait off them. (Like a video game!)

    We used to bounce it off the ground or structure near the fish to entice them to bite.
