Ned, drop shot, damiki....
I got the mold in a blind trade from a guy in Ohio. It just came today and I haven’t quite seen anything like it before.
The baits are about 4” long.
That puts you a few miles from the dam down in the clear water. A few miles to the is the confluence of the Little and Big Sac rivers. The Big Sac runs north and south there while the Little Sac comes in from the South East. There is little timber in the lower part of the lake. Price's Branch in the Little Sac (Pt 12) has some timber and the first creek above State Park Marina is Maze. It too has some timber. Everything else close is timber less coves. There are bluff ends up the Little Sac and up the Big Sac. Just south of the mile long bridge which you can see as you move south of Orleans is Hawker Point. It has a very large bay area with a variety of points and smaller coves. Most every point on the lake has some kind of brush pile or piles. Most of them are less than 25' deep. I hope this helps in some way. If I were on anything current I would pass it along and if I hear anything substantial I will let you know. Good luck Derek.
Good goin Bo. I guess I need to move locations and techniques as the Flat and James were unproductive yesterday but I decided that they would eat the Arig or go hungry.
The bluff bite has gone away for me too. We used to catch a bunch on them. Two of us fished 6 hours last week for 4 keepers and 1 short. They were all in the 30’ range.
