Dutch Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 That is also what I thought. I had lmb,smb, spots and that one. I caught from 1 to 10 fish every place I stopped. I didn’t have a lot of keepers but did have a lot of fun. TRDs with Jades Jigs especially the mud minnow was the best bait. This 4# was the best of the day. rps, dtrs5kprs, MarkG52 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farther down the cleaner. There is still a lot of tannic acid around. techo, bobby b. and Jadesjigs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jadesjigs Posted April 2, 2022 Members Share Posted April 2, 2022 @Dutchlooks like a great time! Had a similar trip earlier this week before the rain came in. A lot of small bucks with a few good ones mixed in. Drifting Neds with both standard and Ewg jigs on wind blown banks produced well. The most eye opening thing for me though is that I could not land a fish on my usual 3" finesse baits. However, you could catch fish after fish on the larger 4" big trd style baits. I don't know if I could just detect the bites better on a windy day with the bigger baits, or if the fish preferred the size more. It always amazes me how much of a difference the slightest adjustments make. Thanks for the report @Dutch magicwormman and cheesemaster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Glad you had a good trip. Mine are all the regular TRDs. I don’t have any of the larger ones. Jadesjigs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jadesjigs Posted April 2, 2022 Members Share Posted April 2, 2022 @DutchI never used them much before either until I watched my buddy catch fish after fish using the big trd. I was getting skunked using the exact same colors of finesse trd. After I started catching them on big trd I even went back to finesse trd just to see and nada. I wondered if the bigger bait also gave me slightly more time to set the hook a little better on those ewg neds. Needless to say, I'm heading over to bp after this event is over to load up! cheesemaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
