I've been throwing the jig and a craw a lot and I feel like I'm fishing them slow enough. I've been doing what you said and taking like 2 minutes to reel in. If anybody is due it's me

i've been catching them mostly on square bill crankbaits barely turning the reel handle. once it hits something, i kill it and let it rise slowly. that's when they've been hitting it.

also been dragging jigs / craw very slowly. that bite is gone for me early. seems like it's too big a profile for them eventually when i've been out.

had a nice fish on a LC jerkbait after letting it sit for 20 seconds. it ended up being a pickerel and bit the thing right off at the boat. there goes $15.

Thanks for the info Sam. Sorry about the jerk bait. I hate pickerel for that reason alone

It's just a matter of time Shawn. This time of year is not for everyone just give it time and the bites will come. I just pulled my boat out Saturday and you have 25 hours in.... Have a great season and don't listen to Stratos the only curse is in you mind.

Nothing wrong with a Senko Sam. Lots of guy's think their to good to throw one but under tough conditions they have won a ton of $$$$.
