I was on Whitewood 2 weeks ago and the fish were very finicky. I would assume it has to do with all the pressure that lake gets in about any given week. We were using the second smallest flash champs(1\16oz I believe). We would just jig them slightly until we marked a fish, then we would almost fish them like we would tiny jigs. Slow and subtle. Things can change really quick with fish on those lakes, so stop in and ask the local baitshops. They are super helpful and give you TRUE information! Good luck!
