Webb Elite Results

Most of the "figuring them out" is nothing more than knowing when you have a bite.    Some days the fish crush the bait, and really hang on to it.  Other days they'll swim up behind it, suck it in, then immediately blow it out.   

Adapting a fishing style that allows constant contact with the bait, or switching to a bait that they can't turn loose of once they bite it is more often the key to weighing in a respectable limit on days when they just aren't "killin' it".  The Carolina rig enjoyed a long period of success for that very reason. Guys killed the edge of the C-rig though when they decided the best way to fish it was to not drag it with the reel, but to pump it with the rod.   Drag it with the reel and you feel every single bite.

This is one of the reasons why I have become so infatuated with the RedEye Shad.....if they bite that thing they are more than likely gonna get stuck. 

You'd be real surprised, on those tough days, just how many bites you actually got.   You just didn't know it.

I heard Webb Elite does not allow A-rigs.

Golden. I have had success both ways but some days that slow, constant, methodical, long drag with the reel can be the ticket. Plus you aren’t going to get caught at the end of that long sweep of the rod with a bite. Sometimes power fishing requires some finesse.

I was thinking the same thing MOsmallies.  AIA had more locals than Webb.   I agree with GSP just because Marcus had a big bag doesn't mean that fishing was good.  He can catch them when most of us don't.  Water temps are still a little cold.  If it gets in the 50's and stays there then it will get good.  GSP, how muddy was the water in the Glaize? 

Had about 6” visibility up in the glaize on the lower half. Not sure if it cleared up any farther up.
