Sometimes you just gotta go....

Featured Replies

Fishing no matter what the weather forecast. I’ve missed all of April because of either home renovation or weather. 
Tomorrow I’m going. Light rain, cold.

 

My plan of attack. And I can’t believe I’m saying this. Finnese  fishing. Things I’ve rigged up.

1)Ned rig with that ridiculously stretchy little worm thingy.

2)Shaky head with a zoom trick worm.
3)Tube on a 1/8oz jig head

4) A wacky worm on a big bass bobber<don’t laugh it works~drifting large flats.>
5) 3/16oz Texas rigged Structure bug.

6) rattle trap- ok not finesse

7) 1/4 oz spinner bait

8)1.5 square bill

 

I know you will say jerk bait, but I just am not good with it at all. And I have the usual reaction baits ready to go. It’s going to be an interesting  day.

Ya' gotta love a game plan. ?

my favorite is when I spend the night before game-planning, only to find that every single condition I could think of was different than what I expected, forcing me to re-tie everything I brought.

I have always wanted to try this. I thought about the Thill wobble bobber to add some action to the worm.  Might give this a try here soon.

This is why I do not tie up until I am about to go, or after I've arrived.  I don't have 15 rigs to take with me.

I always drag a tube or some other plastic at the same time. Nail weights in the ends give the worm some extra action on bumpy water. 
Definitely need a steady 5-10 mph wind. Above that and the drift socks come out.

It’s  a good spring and fall cold water technique when the bite is non existent. I’ve really saved some fishing trips just drifting.

What about 20 mph winds like I'll be fishing in tomorrow?

Do you drift with your boat and drag the float rig?   I thought about casting it and reeling or popping it back in.

I just let it drag but you can fish it the other way to.
