I fish a fairly clear, deep lake and I started using a jig head with hook to get them down quicker. They will only drop quickly for the first several feet and then they slow down as they get deeper.
Works pretty well when the fish are deeper.
I saw a news story and a fishing show about the same guide right here in the Lou. I did a Google search and there seems to be a couple companies and I don't remember which one it was. In the show he was very successful and seemed to know the game pretty good.
Looks like it was this one.
I do 20% if the guy is obviously working hard and trying. Just because I don't catch fish doesn't mean anything.
The one thing I don't like is a guide who fishes during my trip, unless I ask him to go ahead and enjoy the bite with me.
I fished the lake area at Empire Park out of my Pond Prowler. We threw the sink at them. I caught this one little bass on a fluke. The place just flat looks fishy. We saw a fish swirl on something and then it jumped out of the water like a great white on shark week. My son and I said the some thing in unison. "That was a huge brown trout". We saw another similar deal but it was clearly a big largemouth. Both days were cloudy and they were only generating 30 mega watts or so. I'll give it a go again when I go back down.

Can somebody rotate the picture?
