Suck, Suck, Suck, Suck STEELY!!!
Posted by: | CommentsAllot of Suckers have moved in. If your running Wobble Glows or Bouncing the Bottom. You are going to have the Big Suck Suck on your Line in between those silver bullets you hook!!!! We where running Huge Floats with a 2 once egg sinker under um. Just to keep it down in the top of the runs. White Choker Bags seemed to be the ticket today. The water is getting nice!!!! It’s a perfect time right now to Crave the Chrome Baby. If your going down there and not getting a hit right now. You need to think about 2 THINGS!!! LINE CONTROL AND SPEED CONTROL!!!!?!!!!! is your line slagging in the water because your trying to cast to long? If your float fishing and trying to cast to far and your line is all in the water look at your float and see which way its standing up. Good chance the your float is pointing down river and when that happens there going to be seeing your sinkers before your sac. Keep your line nice and tight with a little back pressure on your float. So they will be seeing your bag first and not getting hit in the head with lead. Or do you have to much lead on or not enough. Keep some of those tips in mined when you go out next. And ya know I have been seeing more people loose fish because they never change there leaders!!! This is the grand River home of rerod and tons of rocks. If you fishing right…. your line is going to get banged up…. feel it check it!!! And when u do get a nice fish on… your not going to break him off!!!! We went 5 for 15 today in a couple of hours. Or should I say we went 5 STEELYS/18 SUCKERS 15 Steelys hooked and lost and 45 Suckers hooked and Lost. YOUR NOT GOING TO CATCH NO DAM FISH WITH OUT YOUR LINE IN THE WATER!!!!! GO FISHING!!!!!!!!

River Going back down!!!!
Posted by: | CommentsWith the river coming back down the water will start to clear up a little. Allot of Guys are using Wobs right now. Orange and Pink has been good. Running with about a 2 to 3 foot leader and just drifting the holes and runs with it. Guys throwing spawn having been putting about a 1 inch piece of yarn snelled to there hook and then soaking it with some kind of sent. Try ShagNasty Love Juice? Come in the Shop its our blend of Goodness!!! If your Tying bags you want to make sure you are tying bigger bags right now. Quater to 50 cent pieces have been doin good. We have some new High Water Floats here in the store. They can hold about 2 ounces of lead. So in this high water it helps keeping everything down where the fish are.
