JUNGLE JIM 1 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 With the warmer temps I've been seeing some starting to bed. They are super spooky once they start bedding so I leave them alone and try to find the one's who haven't moved up yet since they are more willing to bite. I use tiny jigs less than an inch long on #10 or #12 hooks. I've been catching mostly gills but manage to catch several redear each trip with the biggest so far being 10.5 inches.

Johnsfolly Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Congrats Jim! Nice fish. We found some spotty redears locally. Also using microjigs. They weren't at the spots that we caught them previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_dollar Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I'm not sure where you're at, but I really wouldn't be surprised if that little red and white cork was mine. 🤣 I love the 2 inch slotted peg floats. They lay at a perfect 45 degree angle so you can detect light bites by watching for it to go either perfectly vertical or lay totally flat on the water. Any change in that angle and it's a bite.
