2-2-2012 Took off fri and went fishing they were allot different then normal. The water was dropping about inch an hour and it was 50- 51 degrees. Started fishing around 12 noon with just a couple small fish tried from 1- 20 feet of water. They were hitting it light. I was mid lake with the water color dingy to dark visibilty was only 2 feet. Started slowing down big time and started wacking them had 9 slaps between 12 and 14 inches long. I lost 4 due to the way they were hitting. Caught 6 non keepers the rest were big sows. I had seen a couple guys catching a few on minnows but all of mine were caught on jigs. This is a great reason why you never give up with no keepers from 12 - 2 I finally figured them out and started loading the livewell. looks like my freezer is going to stay stocked up for the winter.
