Mobydick Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I need some help, the last 3 times I was out I didn't catch a thing, except for a rockbass. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Sam Posted December 22, 2006 Super User Share Posted December 22, 2006 Give us some more info, such as the water, its depth, temperature and what fish live there including any baitfish. This time of year the guys usually will use jigs and pigs and jerkbaits but you can still get them on plastic worms. When asking for info give the guys as much data as you can and just sit back and wait for the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobydick Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Ok, well, the depth is about 3 feet, temp is about, well I dont know. The ice is just starting to form on the banks. And I am not sure what for baitfish there are, but there are smallies, rockbass, fallfish, pickeral. I cought the rock bass on a pumpkin colored quarter ounce jig, bitsy bug to be exact.

fishhardorgohome Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Try slowing down a great deal and using a shakey head jig with a finesse worm, it has been working for me. Also, try a blue gill colored jerk bait with about a thirty second pause after every third jerk.... jerk, jerk, jerk, 30 sec pause jerk, jerk, jerk. I don't claim to be an expert but this has put a little excitement on my line in december and it has been a little cold here in Kentucky. I know the water is cold, cold.

jomatty Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 in water that cold i would be looking for some deeper water. find where the first sizable drop off is and focus on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
