Red fin and spook last Friday Big M

[fowlthing]

Caught 54 Friday on red fin and big spook mostly.  Also some on underspin and a grass jig. Fin was hard for me to keep making the wake... so had to hold rod high and shake.  8 keepers, 4 whites, 3 smallies and the rest K's mostly.Almost all were 13-15 inches... and fat.  Fished from 2 until dark.   Long casts worked best... and had one double on the spook.

Very nice.  Assuming the water clarity is coming back up there?

Thanks for the report!....did they drag the boat dock up?

Water is getting better but slowly.  I actually launched from Eagle rock and ran up but did not go back into the ramp at big M  

 

A week ago the dock was still way out. At both Eagle rock and big M. Water is half way up the bathroom

Thanks for the report!

you gotta buy about 7 or 8 redfins to find the one that's wakes properly. All joking aside I have bought a couple that wont wake well.  sometimes I have the same trouble you do and I find I'm retrieving it too fast.

1 out of 6 or 7 would be about right.

I'm confused. If you ran up from Eagle Rock, you were going toward Holiday Island, not Big M.

For you guys struggling to get a Fin to run right, there are steps you can take to help immensely. Use the search feature within this TR forum and you'll find them.

You are  correct I ran down stream, but incorrectly say up when I think of running north.  Thanks I will search for fin tips.

The best way to get a redfin to run right is to tie on a Whopper Plopper!
