RSBreth Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I fished around Swan yesterday - only a couple of small male walleyes on a deep suspending jerk - one largemouth on a weighted shad rap so it would suspend, and one nice rainbow on the same shad rap by the bridge. One smallmouth on a bucktail with a leech trailer - I was sure it was a walleye until it jumped! I was using a new-to-me Academy brand deep suspender - this one is ghost shad:http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/h2o-xpress-8482-suspending-jerk-bait/pid-22547?color=Ghost+Shad&N=4294956313+97009336 Pretty nice for the money - almost like a Lucky Craft Staysee. I did add a feathered treble on the back, and did have to add a little extra lead to get it to suspend - for 4.50 I'm not complaining. Usually I'm throwing a deep Husty Jerk or Staysee to get down deeper, but I'll add some more of these.
vonreed Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 What time of day were you fishing? I was at the dam the night before and never had a bite after dark.
RSBreth Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 I was down there from about 8 A.M. until after 3 P.M. I was trying to get down for the early morning bite but stayed out too late.
Moswimb8slinger Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I went out this afternoon, no water running @ the dam. Caught 3 short LM bass, 1 on an A-rig (flash mob with small Indiana blades and 3in black/silver curl tail minnows) and the other 2 on a 1/16oz. Road runner with a Colorado blade and Gulp! minnow. Tried the flicker shad, rc stick, and couple other baits with no hits and no walleye for me...yet
Moswimb8slinger Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I caught the bass on the same stairs as last week by the mouth of swan, before dark
