So I was out with the kids the other day at Ft Desoto fishing, but I use that term loosely. Once the shrimp were all eaten we switched to some DOA shrimp under popping corks. We got a few hits. But nothing to good.
I took the cork off and worked it just as a jig, but all I ever seem to catch that way is grass! Maybe I go to fast, or to slow, or hop it to much.....whatever it is, I just never had much luck with them.
I had an old spook jr in my box, I haven't used in years, but tied it on and started trying to walk the dog. Started getting hits soon after. Even landed one.
So long story longer, I haven really used lures in years, mostly live bait, and my skills have waned. All this talk has about camping has me thinking now.
What are your goof proof go to lures? I always liked the spook because I can see it and its relatively easy to work. Not sure about winter time though.
