this is one of my favorite times of year to fish.  mainly cause i have the lakes all to myself and it's prime time for my favorite bait - the jig.   went after lunch and fished 'til sunset.  not a great day, but not bad for 45 degree water, post-front bluebird skies, and 10-15 mph winds.  caught 8 little chunkers.  best 5 woulda probably gone 14 lbs.  all on my new favorite jig with a rootbeer/green glitter brush hog trailer.  if not for this bait, the day mighta been pretty bleak.  i couldn't get 'em to hit anything else.  all caught off deep wood.  i got one of these jigs for about a dollar on clearance at a local tackle store.  now i gotta find a way to get more (hopefully without paying full price ).  the little wire trailer keeper is really great and this has got to be one of the most snagless jigs i've ever fished.   hope y'all are catchin' a few too.

Sounds like an awesome day! Terminator Jig's are my favorite flipping jigs by far. The bait holder is great, and they're really snagless. Great hooks and I really like the recessed line tie. The price isn't too bad, wish I could get them for a dollar though!

Sounds like a great december day!!

Too bad that jig cannot fit any braid over 50lb test :-/

Tough conditions are no match the "PAUL MAN."  Why don't you move down here to S.Florida and fish some tourny's with me?

that would be cool bro, but i have a feeling you'd be looking for a new partner soon.  i'm very average off my home lakes - and quite often on them. ;D

Good to see your still catching fish Paul.

Next year I think I'm hanging up a lot of my tournament fishing stuff and I'm going to be purchasing a swimbait setup. Thinking about fishing Gibson Co. trying to fish for the monsters there. If you're interested in trying that as well let me know bud. I could use your big fish experience  

yes i'm definitely interested.  that would be great.   holler at me anytime and we'll go.  i've got some spots too.  i'm still trying to get out and fish at least once a week.  thanks for asking.    

Went to Gibson Co. lake early this past summer (1st time), really nice lake. Caught a 6lb on my spinning gear (PB for spinning)! Just about the most fun you can have (with your clothes on )...
