RBS Killer 64th oz Feather Jig

36 RBS , 1 P seed Wanaque River Started with a Hendrix "Rascal" on the Flyrod ;immediate hits but no takes. Tipping the "rascal" with small piece of worm got 4 Red Breasted Sunfish. Switched to spinning rod 2# test line and a 32nd Chartreuse Jig I tied /tipped with Twister Tail ,The bait got down to the fish quicker in the shallow pools and caught 7 RBS in short order . Switched to an untipped beaded beige nymph my brother tied; threw it with the flyrod ,nothing . Switched to spinning rod and scaled down to a 64th oz .feather black head jig I tied. This was killer and caught 25 RBS and one Pseed without being tipped . Very low water conditions and stained. A fine 90 minutes of wading/fishing from stream rocks .Great way to bring in October! A size 10 or 8 hook is perfect for these little beauties!

Comment by John Sheehan on October 5, 2014 at 1:58pm: You bet Mark, better I message you and explain .

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 5, 2014 at 11:56am: PS, wish I could catch a few trouts.:)

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 5, 2014 at 11:27am: True dat - trout are finicky!

Comment by Mark Sleeper on October 5, 2014 at 10:22am: Thanks for the reply John

Comment by John Sheehan on October 5, 2014 at 9:40am: I agree ,except for stubborn Trout sometimes that wont move a inch to a bait . If the lure isn't travelling in the proper lane ,you cast your arm off with no fish to show for your efforts .

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 5, 2014 at 9:03am: Fish in moving water tend to be reckless - if they don't get it, it gets away!

Comment by John Sheehan on October 5, 2014 at 8:44am: True David its catching well as of that day thought I might want to beef it up a hair for use in clearer water and discerning Trout and other fish .These RBS I catch are what I'd call reckless
