Big M, Sunday, Feb. 10

[Champ188]

Donna and I slipped up to Big M and got in about 6 hours, starting at 11:30 AM and finishing at 5:30 PM. Bite was slow but not impossible --- we ended up with a dozen, all spots except one LM and probably not a keeper in the bunch. However, for 42-44 degree water and not having been on the Rock in no telling when, we weren't too disappointed.

Couldn't buy a jig bite and only the single LM was caught on jerk bait. The rest were all caught on the Varmint … aka Ned Rig. Bite was on main lake transitions (mostly 45-degree chunk rock with timber) and ranged from 18 to 25 feet deep. Might have gotten bit as deep as 30 feet a time or two.

As was discussed in an earlier thread, the fish are still pretty grouped up … they are where they are and they darn sure aren't where they aren't. 

Gonna get better soon. It's the middle of February .
