    fished there this weekend and it was tough. Little ones are easy but the big ones are hard to come by. Throw biffle bug in sooner run.

    Not particularly, I was throwing natural color jigs with a trailer that had some paddles or pinchers that you could almost swim.

    Be sure to bring a drop shot and shakey head for the kids. Any kind of finesse worm on either rig should produce plenty and possibly a big smallie.
