New Season

[Nick Holt]

Well, it's the middle of April, and sad to say I've only been to my friend's private lake twice. The first time much earlier this month, I came home with 10 nice gills with a total weight of 5 pounds. Second time out, only caught 4 just last weekend. Could see the gills everywhere, but this time of the month they only have one thing on their minds. Looks like it's going to be a heavy bedding season. The fish I caught were all on what I call now the "spider grub". Again, it comes from the idea that one of the members posted when I first came on this site. It's the 1 inch curl-tail grub body without the tail and 3 "legs" sewn through it. I thread a 1/32 ounce jighead on it and use a weighted bobber for distance. That's all I have been using in different color combinations, and they work great. Thanks for the tip. I know the idea isn't new to some, but is to me. Hope I'll get out more this spring. Been sick with pneumonia for 2 weeks in April, and while layed up sick, someone stole my car and wrecked it. Haven't been able to afford to buy another vehicle, so my wife and I are sharing hers. Oh well, could be worse. Take care folks and keep the live wells full. Nick.

Hey Bruce, Thanks for the quick response. Tried to go to the chat room a few minutes back, but no-one responded. Any special time chatting is more active? Nick.
