On my first day fishing since July I went to Lake X. I went later than usual and fishing started at 10:30. It took 3 hours to catch the first fish, a 6 3/4 on a swim jig as it came over a limb. Later one pulled off on a red eye shad after it glanced off of a limb. Erratic movement was the trigger to get bites. I spied a limb barely under the water as I drifted past so I reeled in the red eye shad as fast as I could do I could cast to it but the idea of a terrified shad was too much for a three pounder that was faster than I was. On another tree top the line was around a limb so that when I pulled the swim jig by it went sideways and a 4 3/4 couldn’t stand that. I use a Brovarney 1/4 ounce swim jig that is chartreuse and white with a Strike King 3 inch swimmer on behind. Those jigs have excellent hooks. The only place you can get them is ordering them from the Brovarney website fyi. EDIT: Unfortunately Brovarney is out of business. Hal and Richard have been using Green fish and Googan with satisfaction.
