Great fish! Don't forget to take a pic of your jig
Met up with my fishing buddy around 11 and fished until 3:30 .
Lake level was two feet lower than last week and had nice chocolate milk color to it .
Sunny with a mid 60’s forecast high with a light breeze .
Started out to be one of those days, got held up by a train going through a small town on the way and had to find away around it . It was still there on the way home .
So was the two locations where they were working or paving the road with only one side open , with a pilot vehicle that i followed for over two miles once it was my turn .
My first cast , I landed a nice crappie . Three casts later , a nice spotted bass .
I went on to catch eight spotted bass with the largest being around three pounds . Three small bluegills were also caught .
All caught on homemade Tungsten bead jigs and shortened Trout Magnet bodies , in black or black/chartreuse .
Most were caught on 6’6” St Croix rods . A Triumph and Avid models . Reels were Shimano Soare XR C2000sspg and a Soare BB c2000spg . All loaded with Daiwa X8 J Braid and 4# Floroclear leader .
Mostly a bass day , but a blast on ultralight .
Great day, nice catches! I spent about an hour cutting first section of TM body off so it will fit on my Daiwa SS jig heads. Got to be ready as it will be on us soon!

Another pic of the jig .
I tied this one a few minutes ago and tied it on a 5’6” St Croix Premier I’m taking in about an hour for a 30 minute fishing trip while my wife has her hair appointment.
Not knowing the water conditions I went with an all black setup , which usually works in both clear and stained water .
Hopefully the lake will be full and maybe I can get into some green sunfish around the riprap .
