Tough day - at first

[SenkoSam]

Had a similar experience as a previous poster of having difficulty finding fish. Last Friday I caught 45 fish, with the wind 20-25 mph. Today I barely caught 38 per my counter and they were not in the same locations. Post spawn fish relocate which is something that occured to me when I saw some kayak anglers fishing in the middle of the lake vs the shallows. After that, I moved out into somewhat deeper water of 7' and started catching loose school fish.

My reason as usual fishing any water is to catch fish on lures I make and design. Happily they caught different species and were attacked like it was the fish's last meal ! Here are a few:

This one is a 2" wacky mini-stick hit by fish of all sizes. The jig head is 1/16 oz with a #4 hook.

Here's another:


I also wanted to confirm that clear plastic bodies or tails can catch fish:



This hybrid was made by taking a claw from a bass craw lure and attaching it to a grub body:


One thing I sometimes forget are that fish become very aggressive post spawn and they did not disappoint.
