Laughed pretty bleeping hard at that comment.


For those of us that are inexperienced and need mommy to hold our hands... approximately how many times should I bash the yellow eyed devil in the skull?

The "sure thing" for me was either an A17 diamond jig with green or red tube (color probably doesn't matter) or a small hopkins shorty, both with a teaser fly about three feet above. I fished pretty hard for about five-six days over the past week and I'd say about 2/3 of the blues took the diamond jig/hopkins and 1/3 took the fly. No double headers this trip. I trolled and casted with that setup and caught fish both ways. When the fish were breaking water I switched to an atoms or white popper for fun, and that worked too.
