Tried The A Rig Finally

[Doug Weston]

I finally got on board after hearing so much about it. Didn't vet started until almost 930 and began to wonder if I had missed the bite. Didnt get bit until a little after 2 but I quickly figured them out. Put in at Shell knob bridge and fished between there ad big creek. Couldnt find fish very deep, deepest todaywas 25 ft with most coming out of 13 or less. Windblown mixed rock(transition) banks found the concentrations of fish.

I was ready to quit and finally got a bite, then caught 34 between 2 o'clock and 5. I actually counted. 13 keeps but none very big. Best 5 at 13 lbs. I had to reel extremely slow.

I can't remember catching that many, that fast ever before. I tried other baits in the same areas and no takers. I had 3, four inch swimbaits and 2, #2 willow blades on my rig. I think the swimbaits were called Keitech (brand).

I don't think I could give you much more without GPS coordinates. Even though they weren't big, this was an amazing day for me.

Glad to hear you got into them, the A-rig rocks!

Great report Doug. Snowed a bit on us in KS last night so you have me wishing...and building more rigs.
