    Default Warm morning


    Warm a little breezy , and cloudy when I arrived around eleven this morning .
    Low to mid sixties. Sun even peeked out a couple times , but mostly cloudy .
    Fishing my 6’6” St Croix Avid UL and Presso 1000 lt p-g I thought it was going to be another slow morning the first hour .
    I mainly fished my new favorite lure , a tungsten beadhead jig with a mini trout magnet , I’d only caught three the first hour .
    Then thinking the fish may have moved shallow if the warm night warmed up the water any .
    I started picking up fish in one of the corners of the dam near the overflow where a large flat covers the corner.
    I ended up catching ten more bluegill, bass, and my favorite shellcrackers .
    I’ll take 13 fish in two hours this time of the year .
    My biggest shellcracker was just over 9” and three of the bluegills were just under 8” .
    The Shellcrackers

    This is my jig .
    It’s a size 10 Mustad Ultrapoint hook , 4mm slotted tungsten bead , three turns of black chenille to fill in part of the hook shank to put the hook bend between the Mini Trout Magnet body .
    I use different colors . Today I used white , chartreuse, and this is an olive one dyed with a Zoom chartreuse marker pen , that adds scent to the jig also .
    On a good cast I can cast this 55-60’ .

    Youve got em figured out. I like the jig but I like the crackers more.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
