How do you keep the grass or slime algae off your plugs and hooks? It seems that when I fish these pits with any crank bait that the weeds foul the hooks all too often. A crank bait won't run straight when it's got lots of leafy pond weed hanging off the hooks.

I drove over to Bluegrass, Loon and Otter Pits along with Birddog pit and saw lots of people fishing Wed March 2 nd. But no one said that they caught anything.

Also the two I caught were fat little suckers. Looks like they were eating shad.
