Yep, Jim's nailed it. This time of year I downsize even further than normal, and I look for coves, or bays that get a lot of sunlight., adjacent to deeper water. Weedbeds are usually a plus. Might even pay to check the afternoon bite.

We down-sized to a 1/64th oz shad dart jighead with worm pieces this week and smacked em silly. Fished em 5 ft below a bobber...small, sensitive bobber, and let the wind just drift thru some shallow corners of the pond that had been warmed just a bit by sunlight...fish were there!

Absolutely Tony......I was looking in that part of my box this afternoon.......

Sounds like it's time to downsize on the jigs.

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on November 9, 2013 at 3:44pm

It should Jim....LOL.....we had to endure similar conditions today with an eight degree drop in water temps overnight.......getting tougher as the rivers near turnover......

Wow they even like the jumbo. I know it has to be a crappie killer for sure.
