had a great time at rough this weekend

I am heading down to Rough on Thursday and am taking my kids and my nieces and nephews out ranfge form 6-11 years old. I'd love to get them ahold of a hybrid or two. Do you have any advice. My assumption would be head down by the dam and state dock area and look for the jumps and then throw some bucktail jigs at them. Any help is appreciated.

If you really want to crush the hybrids go to Wal-mart and buy you some of those little silver spoons.

Throw them about 4 feet past the jumps and let it sink for about 10 seconds or so, then rip the spoon up with your rod and let it fall again. Odds are after you rip the bait the first time you will find a fish on the other end of your line!

Keep working the spoon through the jumps in that same manner. It works like a charm!

The fish sees the falling action of the spoon as a wounded baitfish, and its falling at such a fast rate they really dont have time to look at it, they just eat it

Let us know how you do!
