Got a feeling that your best 5 did a little bit better than 10 pounds.  You had some skinny bucks, but there are a couple of really nice fish in that set of photo's.  Thanks a bunch for sharing.  Great information.

I wasn't sure. I didn't take the time to weigh any of them. I just figured my best 5 averaged 2lbs each. The back of Owl Creek was on fire around 11-1pm. As you are going to the very back there is a steep bluff bank with a dock at the end of it. 2 good ones came from under there. The point in the pic is right behind that dock. I think I could have got more bites there but I wanted to go other places and try to duplicate the pattern. There is a cove that is around the corner from Emerald Beach. It goes a ways, but it was hidden from the wind. South facing gravel/chunk rock bank. There were several there too. I will try to find overhead pic. U guys can tell me the name.

Here it is. Cove on the right. The point you would run straight into when you come in. What is the name of this cove?

Looks like Carter hollow, I have fished it many times.  We did go in there Friday and did not get one bleeping bite.  Good on you for getting in there and getting some.

That's what makes it so tough to put the turd down. I know if I drag it in the right places, it is going to get bit. 

I enjoy fishing a lot of different ways, but I really enjoy catching fish. A lot of times I feel like I am costing myself fish trying other lures. I have found anything else that catches fish as well as the Midwest Turd Rig.

I was thinking the same.

I tried a jerkbait in the spots where I caught multiples and no takers. Might have been the color. I threw a shiny gold/orange belly/brown back Vision 110. Figured they would bite that color. Not a sniff. Ham. I had a hard time putting Ned Beatty down but I had to try some other things. I kept going back to it and eventually stuck with it after crank and jerk didn't produce.

Got a box full of 'em sitting in my garage. Not a one in the boat.

Me too except i finally tied one on, i gave most of mine away last year. finally threw it today for about 20 casts, caught one little spot and then decided i would rather cast somthing i enjoy and caught a few on a wart.   Im sure if i got the right equipment to throw it on i might like it better buttttttt,   nahhhh. just isnt much fun to me. just my personal opinion, i know some guys are great with them but im not gonna be one of those guys
