 Got to the NSP later than I wanted at 6pm. Caught bait and started to fish at 6:30pm. Caught two macs. But what I learn today was from two guys name Steven and Michael. They were slaying the macs from 6-7:30pm. They said they have been fishing since 1 pm but the action only begin when I got there. They were on ultra light setup with a glass minnow lure.(with and without a teaser) Thinnest 6” steel leader. Between both of them, I’d say they caught atleast a dozen macs in an hour window. |

neat looking jig, did they say if they make them or buy them?
If I use wire, I use a light single strand, I believe its 27# test.

The one they show me was mostly yellow. I think it’s sold at Walmart and online. I’ve seen them before because I recognize it when they shown it to me. I’m going to try to replicate the action today if I get the chance to get out there at sunset.

This jig is basically top water. Don’t even need to let it sink. I was really impress by the amount of strikes on it. Got a better durability than the crappie jig.

So I went out there at 6pm. Saw the same two guys. I was using a crappie jig and they were back at their same setup.
I caught 2 baby macs and I try to flip a nice size one and the line snapped. That’s what I get for playing with 6lb test ultra light.
Once dolphin showed up. Nothing hit afterwards. The two guys didn’t land any that I saw. They had a few missed strikes and a cutoff.
Overall, you had to really work for them today. I didn’t even both with bait as they look like they were hanging pretty deep I would cast for nothing.
Im still here trying to crabs. I had to pay my wife $100 to let me go fish and crab today. I can’t go home empty handed.

I came home with 2 dozen crabs and 2 dozen shrimp. Better than empty handed. My right hand is sore from jigging and hold the rod. I’m just not good at it and I don’t like it. Too much pressure on my wrist. I’m going back to catching bait and free lining. Haha.

Tsunami is the brand of what that picture is. Walmart...Bass pro...online.
There are other brands as well. Or just wrap a mylar strip down the sides of a bucktail and coat threads with super glue.
Work it similar to a gotcha plug

Work it similar to a gotcha plug I’m in Gainesville today and there is a Bass Pro shop next to me. I’m going to see if they have any in stock. |
