Thank for the info. What technique are you using to fish it?

Austin, you can fish this thing from a foot deep to 40 feet. Right now, though, and at least until the beginning of June, you can't go wrong fishing it on mixed gravel/chunk rock points (and soon plain ol' gravel points). As the water warms thru the 50s and into the 60s, you can also go to the back half of creeks and pockets and find the last place where the creek channel bends up against the bank and fish it from the bank out to 15 feet in that bend.

One key is to not overwork it. Don't hop it, just pull it along the bottom, and let it sit still for 15-30 seconds while doing this.

Should be tons of archived info on this site about the Ned. You might dig around and see what you can find by guys better at Ned fishing than me.

dtrs5kprs has a thread in the forum on retrieves. Yesterday a slow move of 6 to 12 inches with a stop and wait of 3 to 5 seconds worked for me.

Think you probably could catch those shallow fish by going to the 1/16oz head and swimming it. Works when they cruise before bedding, and when they cruise/wolf pack around after leaving beds. Just a thought.

Might also be a time for a tiny fluke on a 1/32oz head, or some similar arrangement. Some of the Japanese heads work well for that deal.
