I Intended To Try a Few Other Baits But Let's Face It.....When They're Pounding a Certain Bait Do You Change?
Some pretty distinct colors on these fish.......over 40 caught on the pink curly tailed jig which I allow to enter the water slowly followed by a deliberate drop to produce the waving tail action which is deadly the next two weeks.....

I'm good for ten casts, Tooty. After that retire it and go with something else.

Yep......nice report Tooty.......I'm not as patient on my little afternoon Spring trips.....not a lot of time often just a couple hours so I plan accordingly........soon it won't be dark until after 9:00 but right now it's about 7:45 here on the east coast..........

Good question Jeffrey !!!!? Yesterday at Kent's pond I went with the intention of trying alot of baits folks had sent me on here. I did try em out , a few at least along with some of my new stuff. Thing is the only way to see what works is to try different stuff . When the fish were biting on Red & White I switched to the Blue & White , then to the pink and olive. Tried Dicks little bugs but the water was so dirty I wonder if they could even see em. Size first was the most important consideration yesterday , color was secondary. I tried some proven Jeffrey #6;s and never got a nibble , went back to the #10's and started catching again right away.
Yesterday was quite a learning experience for me and tried many things and if they didn't work in a cast or two back to the old standbys. There definately was a size preference and color also .......
