Got out at 0730 and fished until almost 4 PM. Fishing started slow in the morning, but picked up in the afternoon. Caught fish on a 3XD, Predator Baits Wart knockoff painted Missouri Craw by Tim Hughes, the Ned, and a Rage Tail Menace Grub fished on a wobble head. Fish were all up shallow in the murky water from about point 23 up to Panther creek. Didn't catch one in less than 10 FOW. Caught 20, with 6-7 keepers. Water temps were 51-53.
Missed a lot of fish on the Menace Grub, all I can think is that the grub, not being very flexible, is preventing the grub from collapsing on the EWG hook during the hook set. I'm going to have to try either a naked Nutech jig head or a worm hook on the wobble head with that Menace grub. I missed probably 15 fish today that bit the grub. I even stopped setting the hook for a bit on a couple of them, felt the bite, put a little pressure on them, I could feel them holding it, then I would pop it and out it would come. Time to make some adjustments. Missed another half dozen Ned bites. I am glad I am not fishing for money.
