Went out for a little midday sight fishing today. Lots of fish were seen but it was very hard to entice a bite. Deadsticking a Gulp! in front of them was about the only way I got these fish to eat. Fished for a couple hours and caught 3 decent reds. 18-23". The wind picked up and I couldnt see any more so I took it to the house.

I was also testing a new jig head that was given to me by Fisherman's Enterprises. It was a 1/8oz red head with a tremendously sharp hook. I went 3 for 3 on fish today and will continue to use it in the future. It has one of the sharpest hooks Ive found on a jig head.

Kept this 19" fish for dinner!

Deadsticking, that's about the only thing I didn't try yesterday. I did let a few gulps sit for a few seconds and slooooowed my retrieve way down, but I couldn't get a bite.

Glad you had some luck!

Way to go Brant! Good diligence with the Red. Once you caught one did the fish stick around or did you keep moving?

What's your preference? going down stream once they flee, or up stream?

Go Noles!
