Dam 1/8

[Alex Heitman]

Yeah there were times we were catching them in 25-30 ft with the 1/16 head. Forgot to mention we only had 2 spinning reels set up for the little rig. I wanted my brother and dad to catch some fish so I rigged it up on a Lews BB1 pro, carbonlite 7ft medium, and 10 lb fluro. I was able to throw that 1/16 oz head pretty good and surprised me. Stuck quote a few with that setup haha. Would not recommend it though but it was fun using a jig hookset on the little bait.

I bust them even with the 6# line and spin stuff. Lost too many fish the first year or two trying to do the reel into them thing. It's not like loading one up on a grub. Still not sure why, might be the way they clamp down on it.

Nice report Alex. Been awhile since anyone has had a report especially in our beloved dam area. Hopefully the water recedes soon and the water clears up for a nice winter/early spring jerker bite.

Looks like your brothers K's has been eating good. Probably outweighs your dads smallie even though it is 2-3" shorter. Any of them burping up shad or craw daddy's?
