Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 4, 2016 Global Moderator Posted April 4, 2016 I got invited to fish a private strip pit this past week, only catch was I had to provide a boat, which I just happen to have Water was super muddy (less than 6" visibility), and we've had cold front after cold front and we were in the middle of a cold front on this day. Knew it would be tough but at least those conditions make locating them easy. So I rigged a rod up with a black finesse jig with a black and blue trailer and started flipping at everything right on the bank. Took about 30 minutes before I lifted my rod after the initial drop and it was smoking off the bank. The new 70XHG caught up with her quickly and buried the hook home. Not much movement on the hookset made me feel happy on the inside and when she did her cold water wallow on the surface, it brought a smile to my face. She ate the jig completey down the hatch like I love to see. A quick couple pictures and a weight (5lb 7oz), and she was back in the water to get warmed back up and get ready to make some babies. 18 Quote
