A-Rig

[BeginnersLuck]

Had a couple small mouth keepers up by the dam. Not a lot of action and a very light bite, but they aren’t far from being on it good.

Jerk bait bite has to be close if not already here. You guys can have that A-rig. Too much work for me. Might as well troll.

The right rod and the A-rig is pretty easy to throw. The compact style ones are a lot easier on ya than the original Manns contraption from 10 years ago

the rig might work if you want to fish it 50 to 60 feet deep.  i just don't see a shallow bite happening except for a very limited area of the lake.  i've covered 3/4 of the lake in the last 6 weeks, and the bulk of the shad are fairly deep, even in the mud in the kings, they were 15 to 20 feet deep.

Last week up the James from Cape the shad were still shallow anywhere from the surface to 20 ft is where i saw the majority. The birds were going crazy over them.

I saw the same thing in the state park area on Stockton.

Two things hold true about bass … 1. There are always fish shallow. 2. There are always fish deep. Those who are most accomplished at catching them shallow will find some and figure out a way to catch them. Those who are most skilled at catching them deep will do the same.

Funny how it always seems to shake out in the end, whether tournament fishing or just for fun.  

Therefore, always fish your strengths except on the rare occasions that doing so is just ridiculous. You'll catch more fish.
