[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Another technique to try after the boils go down is speed jigging. Use 1-2 oz jigs so they go down fast ( I like dressed hook 1 oz silver Kastmasters). Drop your jig 70-80 ft, jig it 2 or 3 times at that depth then crank it up as fast as you can. Any fish in the area can't resist a free meal of a fleeing shad even when they are gorged. This can be as effective as bait. [/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Did you do any night fishing?[/size][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]How hot was it, Fuzzy? 120 dgrees in the shade? I just don't has the desire to suffer in that hot, dry heat. Sounds like you had a killer trip![/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I think we'll head down after Labor Day when all the kids are back in school and things start to cool down. Hey, thanks for the great report![/size][/black][/font]
