Mid-lake 1/16

[Sprint21fter]

After 3 previous trips out of the dam area and fishing the clear water with 4bites to show for, decided to fish up the lake at Baxter. After seeing the muddy water figured it was going to be tough. Ended having 7 bites with 5 nice keepers.  Easily had 15 lbs don't think I had 16.  3 nice largemouth, 2 nice spots.  If you find a bite work the area over with repeated casts, they are grouped up.  Flipped 1/2oz  black/purple jig. Wtemps: 45.8-46.1.  Slow, slow, slower was the key for me.

Great Report.  Usually when I have a fish flipping on my seat, I like to have triple hooks in its mouth.  They stick better  to the seat that way

Did you just flip the jig, or did you throw anything else?

Thanks And Good Luck

At least it made it easy to see they were eating craws. Messy fish, bad fish.
