The pre and post spawners will be real aggressive. I would use a spinnerbait in windy or low light and use a Senko in calm. Something like a baitfish moving should get them. Early morning late evening I like a popper of some kind just lightly pulled just to make a little noise.

Ben thanks alot. I appreciate your help.

It does have oil injector that is the original I was plannin on disconnnecting it. Is that a simple matter just disconnecting it or is their more to it. Thanks for your help

If so what are the positives and negatives of the engine. I am looking into a couple of boats that have these and was needing some opinions.

Punisher jigs from celina Tn. makes some good ones.

Although it is hard to find I have had some bear hair jigs that worked great. I used bleach and Q-tips to add some orange to them. I have also used deer hair.

hair jigs have a smaller profile and have a little more breathability or movement in cold water, compared to other silicon/rubber jigs.

Crawfish imitations will be your best bet. Bitsy bug jigs in Green, Brown or black with blue small chunk. Also tubes work well in the same colors. Depending on the presence of baitfish you maybe able to use 1/4 oz. rattle traps, crawfish cranks, and smaller spinner baits. I have always done well with brown and orange skirts. If the water is clear I would use a 4-5 ft. leader of fluro and fish spinners and cranks real fast (ie don't let them get a look at it). For the redeye small bandit cranks work really well. I have alot of experience in doing this b/c for years it was all I could do on foot and limited travel time. ] Good Luck

Just starting this year doing this. done good around new year, but it has been terrible late. I think it is do to the warmer than normal weather. It is really fun to get a big brown fish on light tackle.

That helps me in the style I want to use. I plan on fishing the east Tn. lakes. (Cherokee, Norris, etc.)

It does thanks alot.

I have never fished with a float and fly before. Is their any one that can give me any basic tips for fishing this rig? Also what type of structure or banks should I be fishing?
