Question : I was told that they were charging 10 bucks to launch at Mutton. Is that true? or fake news..

I'm like all the others..Mill creek area and a cross from it is good. Cow creek is good early. Early is the key!! Top water first and then find shaded banks with a jig..I agree with rps but i'd back it up to, before day light and out at 11 and then back at dark! From 1pm and on, will be like trying to roller skate at the Mall on Black Friday !! Good Luck !!!!!

Thanks for the report !!!!!

Hey Bob question? On your web site you show a "Split trip", 4 hours in the morning and 4 in the evening. Say me and my two brothers book this for the 400 bucks and go out in the morning and catch a limit of walleye in the first hour and have 3 hours left and go and catch a limit of crappie too. Do you refund half of the money or do we just catch and release in the evening? If so, what does this mean "a chance for catching more fish "? Plus, they're from Kansas is that okay ? PS nice web site !! Lots of dead fish! How many fish do you kill a year? Me? ..0! But I'm just a weekend guy, like those in your poll....

Thanks for the report Zac ! Any info good or bad, large or small, always help.!

Hey Gilly, Dutch is right..I seen that thing pulling into port in the back of Mutton Sunday. The wheel house is on top,.the 3rd floor! Its BIG UN !!

Hey, Have you got this fixed yet? If not this may help! You're doing it right you just need a little help.. First check the vents and make sure they're clean. Its down on the barb part of your mold. It will be that little line coming off of it. Clean both sides. That vent lets the air escape as the lead comes down the shaft of the hook. That will help,..and this will fix it.. What you need next is "Tin" in your alloy! Go to Lowes or Home depot and get some Solder..the solid stuff. Add it to your alloy. Tin breaks up the surface tension of the lead so it flows and fills out your mold. If your pot is fill of lead it may take the whole roll. Mix it in good. Hope this helps !!

Hey, Went yesterday and yes it was cold. Put in at Old SP and fished the main lake points and cuts just off the main lake. Two shorts on a stick bait and one keeper on a 3/4 oz jig 25 feet and that was it, all LM. Fished from 7am to 5pm. Had a little sun at the end of the day, thought it may fire things up ,..but no go! Water was 44 and mostly clear. Good luck..!

Hey techo I don't know if its talent or just windshield time! This is my end of year time and looking back this year I poured 7000 jigs. My hook orders were 4000 4/0 and 3000 3/0 and I did have some special orders for larger hooks too. I have 8 guides I sell to in Texas, Arkansas, and Alabama that I met on ebay years ago. These were not all skirted jigs a lot were shaky heads. I custom make all my wire keepers for the smallest worm to the largest. BTW this is not my job its something I love to do! I also have a full time job and family. Sorry I'm like mottoman this has got off topic a bit and I'm sorry, this is the last from me (off topic)..

Sorry my bad ! I just went to their site and clicked on the spider heads a pack of three 3/8oz 3/0 hooks were 5.99 and I checked out and shipping was 7.99 that's 13.98 for 3 jigs that's 4.66 ea. I see now you can order more for the same 7.99 and save on shipping ! Sorry

I'm with Whack'em here...I've been pouring my own jigs for years and love it.! The enjoyment you get out of this when you trick the fish into biting something you made is awesome! I understand too, if you don't have room or the time, its not right for everyone. But after the money you spend to get started its a no brainer too. I make my jigs for about .50 ea. Now I do buy in bulk and sell about half of the ones I make just to get my money back, but still you should be able to make them for way less than a buck each. I've not bought a jig off the rack in a long time but I did see the link to the BassX site and they are awesome looking jigs ! But after shipping that's 5 bucks each "ouch" ! I'm not beating these guys up on this, they have a great product I'm sure!! Just remember too, as the saying goes.. a lot of the times these companys are trying to catch fisherman and not fish. If you think this is for you I'd be happy to help!

denjac, thanks for the info ! We put in yesterday at Mutton caught a good smallie on a jig on the main lake point first thing! Move on to point 8 the wind was light but coming in on the point no wart bite but did get 'em to hit the jig and for about an hour too. Had a couple keepers as well. As it slowed we move to the river. Went to Birch and water was very muddy. Fished on around to about point 9 and nothing.. Went back to main lake, back to point hopping.. We caught most of the fish on the eddy side on the point and when the wind died out they were on the points and just inside. We had 7 keepers the two biggest for the day were the smallie she was almost 17" and had one KY that was very fat and 16 1/2" and alot of 13 to 14 inchers. Believe me I had my 13 year old nephew and his dad with me and he measured every fish !! All fish were caught on a 1/4 oz jig and yes we all used the same size and color ! All were released no blood on any of them !! A Great day !!

Hey, didn't post on our last trip,..not much to post. Hope to do better today tho.. Will let you know tonight! Thanks for the report! Good luck today!

Wow 7 fish on a top water..that'll get your blood pumping just as fast as killing a great big Buck anyway !! Well maybe not, but you know what I mean.. Thanks for the report..

Thanks for the report !! Taking my son down this weekend ! He likes catching more than fishing right now! But he doesn't care who catches, just so some come in the boat.... Thanks for your help !

Hey denjac..Main Lake or River ? ...Thanks

Yeah, me too ! Hope I didn't let the "cat out of the bag" ! Sorry

Wow, I feel like a dumy ! Redbird you're right! I never thought of that..it was on the windy points. It make sence now. I've never done that but I will now. See you do learn something every time out. I just took the long way around Thanks guys !!!

Hey, new here and kinda new to the lake. I was on the lake yesterday and the last few weekends. A couple weeks ago I was fishing a point and a couple guys came in on the point across from me and I seen they were throwing a buzzbait. This was about noon, sun and no clouds, a little wind. They went on down the cove a little then came over to my side and started my way. I was done (no fish) so I let them have it and I went across to the point they just fished and first cast caught a keeper in about 20ft of water, then a dink, and then another keeper on a 1/2 oz jig. Yesterday same thing but it was on down a bank, I was on fishing a jig again, and a boat came up on me ( they had to be in a tournament, they had on the same color jackets..I don't know) and they were working fast so I just pulled off and let them by and both of them were throwing a white looking buzzbait. I came up on a big log on the bank flipped my jig in there and bang a 4 1/2 LM that they just passed?? Wait there's more, went on down the bank and after they fished the point they took off and before I could get to it, another boat pulled in on it...yeah throwing a white color buzzbait. I pulled out and watched for a bit and they just ran down the bank a little way came up on that log pulled up and took off, didn't even fish it ?? Am I missing something here or what?? Are the bigger fish hitting the buzzbait? Are they just looking for one big bite? I not being mean here..I just don't understand?? I've never seen a buzzbait used all day like that..

I have 6 fished for 4 years now no problems at all ..love 'em. I have a friend that turned me on to them and that's all he uses. Sorry to see they went up tho. When I bought mine they were 49.99 for 2.
