I knew it was going to turn cold for at least a week so i thought i would take the dogs with me and try it today before it got to cold. Started out using a pumpkin seed jig with a rage tail chunk with mega strike scent, second cast caught 1 about 15" next cast lost jig.

Put on pointer 100 RS took about 10 cast but finally hooked one about 14" after that about every cast was hanging up on rocks last cast i had to wade down river then wade out about 50 yards to get it back on the way back in i found a excalibur fat free shad hung on some rocks so i took off the pointer.

Next i put on * trick stick 4" pumpkin seed with mega strike scent i caught 2 about 15" went a while no bites changet sticks went to one with a chartuse tip caught 2 real quick again about 15" then no bites.

I tied a tube on next with megastrike scent caught 2 about 14" then i tried it in a little swifter water the first throw caught my biggest of the day 18 1/2" after that caught 1 more about 16" I was taking off my waders getting ready to leave when 2 friends showed up, i had to stay a little while and watch them fish by this time it had gotten colder. I was getting in the truck to leave when one of them caught a fish close to 20" I'll post his picture but my fish looks the same as most of the fish i have caught from the time I started early Feb.

Sorry to all the northern Brothers who can"t fish yet. to make it worse I'm close to a 100 smallies on the year.

Nice pic!

Sounds like an outstanding day.  Great pic.
