    why cant you believe it? You think the big ones stop eating during the summer? If they arent up shallow, look deep. Use your graph, they will either be on the bottom or suspended.

    Sat. and Sunday when my daughter and grand kids were here, I marked all kinds of fish but hard to get them to bite. Must have been the fronts that were moving through. 1/64 oz. jig a foot off the bottom in deep water has been working the best. Also seems like they only want one color, orange head and red squirrel tail hair.

    You can’t beleive how many orange head and red squirrel tail plus brown head red squirrel tail jigs I made 25-30 years ago thinking they would be the cats meow and never caught a darn thing on them. Glad they’re working for you. Might have to dig them out or make some more.
