I fished it Thursday from Lucy Smith Hollow to the confluence with the White. Visibility was 1-1.5' with greenish color. There was some wood debris including some logs so you had to be careful. Water temps 53.5 to 56.2. I scratched out 6 shorts on a Ned. It was really tough but then I suck at fishing this lake. I enjoy it and love the lake, but it regularly humbles me. 😀
Other than when targeting the fish behind your boat, are you fishing vertically with the SB or are you casting with a swimming retrieve? 5/8 seems quite heavy to me and would have a 3" SB moving rapidly during a swimming retrieve?
My enthusiastic vote goes to the Five Fish Lures Ultimate Ned Jigs. They have a good variety of weights, the hook sizes are perfect and strong, and they have a great braided wire weedguard which does not unravel and can easily be bent back into shape.
I often wonder what happened when I pass those white, road-side crosses in the middle of nowhere. That wreck would've been horrific and I'm glad you didn't have to witness it or worse, be involved.
