Celticav Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Well its official, our water temp is starting to hold at 69/70 degrees and we have fish on three patterns right now: prespawn, spawn, and postspawn. Some areas of our lakes here have fish that have spawned out and the rivers that feed them will have fish on the bed for another month, a weird time but can all be pursued with a sunfish patterned bait. Chirmy mentioned a bluegill vertical jig in one post and this has got to be effective for bedding fish, I follow the same logic and toss alot of sunfish colored cranks and spinners like my Nuclear Bluegill in the pic below, as well as bream and bluegill colored jig-n-craws. You can drag any of these across a bed and still work the outside pockets of the bedding grounds on each cast in search of the ladies and the bigger males like to crush these to defend the fry.

Celticav Posted April 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Thanks PaBasser, this is a personal bait and I haven't been able to make one of those in awhile. I equipted it with a single gold hammered colorado and plan on using it as a search bait in the backwater this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
