How Is The Moss? Dam Area And Big M Area? & Ned Rig Question

[fowlthing]

Getting ready for this weekend.. and debating on which area to fish... traffic will be higher in dam area....

Going to try the ned rig this weekend... from what I have read... fish on slack line...I assume they will load up most of the time ?? or will the bite be stronger??

Thanks

On slack line you will feel a lot of them as you move the tip to shake or move the bait. Just a dead pressure. If they pick it up falling or when you are swimming it, you may feel the classic "load up" like with a grub/tube/wacky worm. If they are really on it you may get anything from a tic to line swimming off like a traditional worm bite. Brown fish will at times bull on it like they do with a split shot rig, heavy fast pressure like a catfish bite. That one can be a little tough for kids to handle.

Most welcome. Let us know how you do with it. Should be pretty solid right now, and should hold up with all the increased pressure. The extra boats will hurt some of the other bites, especially anything out off the bank or out in the lake. The little rig will let you duck into some of the smaller safer places and still have a good shot at some nice fish.

i think the moss has pretty much gone away. i fished from the dam to big m, and encountered very little.
