seems like im the only one posting reports but oh well...

went back on the 30th and in 3 hours of fishing i caught 2 dinks and a 2.5#er on a nightcrawler again. i tried hard jerkbaits for a good while but i only got the fish to follow them. anyone want to shed some light into how you are supposed to fish these things? i have tried pins minnows, rip 'n minnows in two different sizes and x-raps. ive tried a jerk pause jerk pause, jerk jerk jerk pause, constant jerking and a strieght retrieve but non of them seem to work. oh some guy caught a crappie that had to be atleast a pound on a sabiki rig. and i farmed two crappie over a pound each.


went back today (tuesday the 31st) and tried nightcrawlers, jerkbaits, swimbaits, and dropshotted roboworms. ended up getting skunked but i did get a bass around 8 pounds to follow my swimbait (that would be my first follow!), that was kind of encouraging since i had been starting to lose faith in those swimbaits.
