Hey bereabasser,
Sounds like oh jig-a-poo time. Mike, Shannon, Luke, and John always wack 'em on a jig. Buddy of mine won the fisher's of men on Barren this weekend with a jig also...a football head 3/8 black/chart. Might see ya down there Friday, I'll be in a red procraft.
Good luck,
Tim

Did you catch those hogs on c-land? Man you are one of over 20 People that I have talked to that normanlly wack em on the fly that has had a day like that this year. That certainly was a good day. But how many days did you not do any good. That is what I use as a gauge to determine if a pattern is working or is just a fluke.......(not the bait) lol

Those guys could catch'em out of the big C if there was only 10 fish left in the whole lake, lol. They have got some magic spots, it pays to fish a lake ALL the time that's for sure.

They were on Cumberland. I had more than one good day. I did catch 5+ smallie and 4.10 largemouth one day. I was catching limits of a mix of smallie keepers, largemouth, and Ky's. Most of the fish came fishing only 5-7 feet deep in the creeks. I do disagree on whether a pattern is working if you catch them ALL the time or not. NO ONE BAIT will catch them all the time. I've been fishing the fly 8 years now and it will WACK them at times. However, it's not the only bait I throw in the winter. I love to crank and jig but the fly produces BIG fish in most situations when the water if below 50.
I don't know the lake as well as some, but I usually catch a few. mhall, the fly is NOT a fluke.....I'm just on here tellin' guys about a different way to catch BIG fish......not a MAGIC bait just a time proven technique to catch fish. There's a time and place for everything and I won't limit myself to just one frame of mind.
Good luck and see ya'll on the water,

I want everybody to know that I am fully aware that the fly will catch fish when all else fails in water below 50 degrees. I am not a fnf hater and I will fish it if necessary. All that being said it bores me to almost tears. I'm hyper and mainly a power fisherman. I am improving year after year on my finesse fishing. But believe me if I think I can catch them on something besides the fly I'll probably be fishing it, sorry, it's just a preference thing.

yep all the deveres are probably the biggest jig fishermen around here and probably the best at it...they do have some awesome spots also and im fortunate enought to be good freinds with all of em and fish with luke all the time,so on occasion he'll take me to some honey holes,lol
