POOL 5

Alma ramp is open and clear. Haven’t had hardly ant time on the water up to testerday. Time to get after it!!!!! Had a couple nice fish yesterday a 25, a 26, lost a real nice fish and caught 1/2 doz eaters. Kept 0. Today Olie had a 25″ and we kept some table fair for Olie! We spent a lot of time on the camera, there aren’t a ton of fish around, but enough! Had fish in 4 spots and really just kept on the move. Hope to see some of you! Good fishing……

Nice fish Jeremy seen your truck at the landing this a.m. went ice fishing its starting to pick up also. Water getting softer every day.

Those are some nice fish boys!

Awesome job!!! Would you mind sharing presentation and depth? I have a lot of family that way and it may be a good excuse.

Hey I used to work with Olie at SCI, looks like you guys had fun. Great fish Olie.

Sure, you asked, N/P to share. We pitched shallow for two bigger fish. 5 to 8 feet. Another pod was in 18′ and pitched/ dragged both. Another spot we dragged 10-14 fow all w/ 1/8 oz jigs. Natural colors, just ring worms. Nearly the same winter condition programs as every other year. #1 Find fish and determine if they are active #2 fish slow, determine jig weight to hang your jig over em “within a foot or so of the bottom” long enough to tease em til they cant resist. #3 colors colors and more colors til you get it dialed. The reason I share that is again yesterday there was several boats next to us throughout the day, and all were fishing too fast. Too fast to hit even a hot color. There was one guy who caught fish pitchin jig and minnows also and some fish being caught out in the channel vertical w/ minnows!! Hope that helps some! good luck!

There were also some fish caught on blades.

When you said a foot or so off of bottom, did you mean when you were dragging?? When I drag I’m bumping bottom quite often, not constant, but often. Is this the same technique you use, also, do you use a stinger with your ring worms or no?
