I went out last Sunday morning at Rough to catch hybrids in the jumps using spoons as I was advised to use on this board. A couple of weeks before I had my first experience catching fish like that so I was pumped up. For whatever reason, there were no jumps last Sunday that I could find, and I covered a lot of water around the dam, the state ramp, and up to Axtel. It was fairly foggy and didn't get bright for awhile, so I was confused as to what happened. Talked to my brother in law whose parents live there and he said that the most recent reports he heard were that the jumps weren't that active like they had been several weeks before.
Regarding trolling for hybrids - what are the basic fundamentals of doing this correctly? What speed range, do you use your trolling motor or big motor, does it take special equipment, etc. I have not witness anyone doing this on Rough, which I live much closer to than Barren.
