Just wanted to follow up, we started fishing 10-14 feet of water, they had been cutting weeds for the last 2 days and the pleasure boaters were still out so the water was pretty messed up. I fish a bit different than most, 7ft UL Gloomis rod, Shimano 500 or 1000 reel with Nanofil to a Aquatek to 18" of mono
This type of set up allows me to float baits( Nanofil floats, Aquatek is a floro swivel and mono floats), the sink rate is incredibly slow especially with wide body baits.
The pumpkin seeds and gills loved this bait, Black worked well during the high sun as the sun started to set we went to the Cut Throat Trout and then finally to the glow.
We drifted around the lake in search of schools of fish but hearing about the weeding and power boats I figured they would be scattered, I started casting a slightly heavier set up which includes a 2.5 Fry rigged with a tube jig head, this makes a faster search lure. yet I can still glide the bait. Which yielded a couple green carp
and 2 crappie
The Swim Fry work just as well if not better, rigged with a ball jig head, the black color looked like a leach in the water, but this time it was the Cut Throat Trout with Kelly glitter that was the ticket
Here is my buddy Ed with a nice Seed
Any night fishing is a good night, we picked up a couple fish on glow but things shut off about 10 pm, we started heading back in when I noticed how much the bucket (where I keep my baits) was glowing, had to snap a picture
Forgot to add this picture up top, but these were the baits for the night
