  1. ok ok i confess.....i did order the jones bait-was keeping that within but it`s out now!After talking with erma(you`re right ,wonderful lady)and getting the scoop on their baits i descided to try them.Thank you for the shipping recomendations,what a pal .There`s a good chance i may not recieve them in time anyways(bummer).Would`ve like to run them thursday/friday but will have to stick with reliables.Oh well,i`ll be back out there agian this year.

  2. Hey fat tommy...first and foremost,thanks to you and the many others for your service.(sent you a pm)

    Now about conesus,i`ll try and help a little(don`t fish it much).I run med to deep divers along the weed edges primarily along the eastern shoreline(firetiger work well as do many others).I`ll also run 3/4-1oz spinnerbaits(blk or white) down them as well letting the flutter down a spell and vary retrieve .Another lure i like is the little ernie in walleye pattern.I to will cast and also troll with them(75'back along edge).Early morning is a good time for some topwater action with a spook over the weeds,start right out of the launch to your left and right and work those points.All coves will produce for you.You`ll get several ideas from many people,mine is only one opinion.North end is good...i`ve done well this past spring mostly on suckers rigged with a quick strike rig(northwest corner 17'zone and southend)).This i do while i`m casting.I`m sure this will work during the fall.Sooo...what i will be doing this fall there..5-6"cranks along the break(cast and troll),poes giant jackpot over weeds and a spinnerbait at dusk!Hope it helps :yes:

  3. Way to go,congrats are in order :beer: ...try running down rods to minumize fouling from weeds.This will allow you to get a longer troll.That way the rod loads up with weeds and not your lure giving you a better presentation.Although you`ll still have to check your action and pull in to clean off once in awhile.Sometimes you can clean a lure by simply ripping your rod fwd and feel for your action,otherwise i just pullup rod ,clean off and reset.

  4. All south basin 11-17fow lower 30`s(nothing great but much fun).Doing 5-5.5mph.1 came casting org tuffy over 17fow,always mark fish there so i tried casting.2of the fish came 15min apart...that was nice!Couple minutes into troll after releasing one).1 had one come on an old 7"yellow cisco kid just put in(east side) and two on natural perch color 25-30 back over 12ft.All smaller baits.No lines beyond 35ft out.Sooner or later those big girls gotta eat and are going to want something beefy!!I have been running some stuff deep and shallow that are just that with no takers.Small`uns are fun and action but bigguns warm the soul.
