Big Gills on the Famed Gronaw Grass Shrimp Today...5/11/2013

With high winds today, I swapped from Tooty's Cotton Candy to Jim Gronaw's Grass Shrimp in pink 1/32 for better casting control and the fish responded......They were crushing this "rock star" jig........Early morning overcast has given way to thunderstorms.....

I agree on the overcast Jeffrey that's when I do my best fishing and seems like the fish cooperate much better

Thanks again Dick.....we had heavy overcast at first light which helped the bite in my opinion......
