Big M area, Dec 22

[Quillback]

Hit the water at first light, lake was flat calm until 1130 or so.  I like that flat calm for fishing a ned rig this time of year.

Caught some bass, mostly spots, on steep banks with trees.  Had a little over 20 with a half-dozen keeper sized.  All on the ned except 2 caught on a 1/16 oz marabou jig.

When I had loaded the boat, I threw the jig out behind it hoping to catch a bluegill or two to keep for cut bait for a future catfish trip.  The jig got whacked by a close to two lb. LM.  Heck of a fight on that buggy whip I use for those light jigs.  It was fun, I'll have to throw those jigs a little more often.
