I took a couple of friends to Kings River last Thur. and we caught 19 keepers above sweet water. 10 TO 12 of them came from one spot. Most were shallow 3 to 4 ft. on the bank one was 15'' weight 2 lb. several 12'' to 13''. Caught most on minnows some on 1/6 oz. white or chartreuse jig.There was alot of buck brush in water then dont know now. Got a bass tournament this sat. or I would be back up there. Hope this helps.
We fished a small tournament out of Indian creek Saturday had 3 fish that weighed 7.4 lb. All caught on a wart with a 3.3lb being the biggest. We got second and big bass. The 1st place team had 8.4lb. 6 fish. Water was 47 to 50 deg. I think they caught theres on a stick bait.
I fished Thur. up the kings water cleared up past jakie. We caught 17 keepers (crappie) with minnows & shiney hineys. Alot of small fish when you caught keepers they were nice 13 to 14 inch.
I make my own. Its not that expensive after getting your mold and lead pot. And you can mix and match and try new things. Theres nothing better than catching fish on a jig you made.
