Glad you found some fish and got some tugs...even if the fish had whiskers and not sharp teeth and funny eyes.
About those white fligs with red eyes. If you look over my vast (or half vast) collection of jigs, fligs and other lures you will see a lot of the white with hot red eyes. I have often stated that I have fished all over the country...in fresh water and salt...in still waters and moving...and I have probably caught more fish of more species on that color combo than on almost all the rest combined. In Utah Lake it is also deadly on both white bass and walleyes at times too. Right behind it is the chartreuse with a hot red eye.
Good to hear the fish have some girth on them. Hope the biomass of edible bait fishes...like white bass...is large enough to keep the predators big and growing. If nothing else, the annual spawn of carplets will keep them fed for a while. But hope enough whities escaped the dieoff to take advantage of the anticipated prime spawning conditions this year and that they proliferate once again.
