My $.02 On This Weekend's Fishing

[jolicious]

Took a buddy out on Saturday 6-2 for about 6 hours.

Left around 8:30 am, came in around 2:30 pm.

He boatd 9 (7 would've kept), and I only managed a couple (1 wouldn've kept). I told him I was just being a good host!

We fished Piney Creek mainly, and flipped to every piece of timber in the water that we could find. Boat was usually in 20-25' of water, but the fish were coming out of 10-15'. He whipped me ona brown jig!

sorry it's not muych info, but it's all I've got. Everyone is so helpful on here that I wanted to share the little bit of info I had.

Have a good day!

You got whooped. :-)

Fishing is really tough this time of year.

As a good friend of mine often says of Beaver, " Welcome to fishing one of the toughest lakes in the US " and I have to agree with him when it comes to Bass.

A seven keeper day ain't too bad for Beaver.

I agree, and I wish that I would have kept the score a little closer!

You said he was using a brown jig, just curious what color jig were you flipping? I like to use those little 1/8 oz jig heads with no weed guards and a twin tail zoom trailer instead of a full jig anymore on Beaver just because it improves my hook up rate. For a little more bulk I will switch to a hula grub but I shy away from full jigs just because I get so many tics that I don't get the hook in when the water gets warmer.

I threw a black/blue (very small trailer), and caught one. The rest of the time I was working on my "Biffle Bug" presentation. I really like the Biffle Bug.I must have been throwing a jig that was too big - I was throwing a 5/16 oz..
