Mother's Day down the lake

[Donna G]

We got a late start, not splashing the boat as Lurch says on MLF, until 9-9:30 a.m. There was a major Ned rigging operation going on before takeoff and later we had to wait out a fairly strong storm. Champ napped while I walked around the dock trying to catch some Nedders.

Had 26 total with 6 keepers. No size to any of them really. Mix of LM, SM and spots. Most had not spawned yet. Saw a few on beds in the backs of pockets, but we couldn't get a lot of love on topwater or blade in those areas. Champ took us to some gravel points and we put up everything except the Ned. Sitting in 25-40 fow and throwing up into 15-20 fow. Most of our fish came on the Ned.

Thanks for the update Donna. Is Champ trying to figure out how to put an arm, blade and skirt on the little rig?

I like the life jacket as a pillow.

The ladies always claim the bench seat during a storm. Life jacket is not bad. A worm binder works well too.

You might be onto something there SplitG2. LOL

Is that a golf hat?

For sure a golf hat "COBRA". Loved my Cobra driver I had several years ago. That big front deck serves another purpose other than a casting platform. ZZZZZZZZZZ!

Were you guys on the lower end? Thanks for the report and pics.

Don't go there....the "Beetle Spin" originators will be out in full force if you bring up that can of worms. But I think it was Timmy Horton that made it somewhat popular to put a little spinner in the tail section of a nedlike worm. Called it the MJ Rig.

Ned and others have been messing with that idea. Have not seen the need for it yet myself.
