I spent 21 hours on the water this past weekend and the bite was on. The beauty about Spring is that you can never cover enough enough water. Many fish were caught in pockets along the bank on Cabin Creek Salty Critter Tubes (green pumpkin) dyed with a chartreuse spike it tail. The presentation was key because instead of dragging the tube you had to let it sit on the bottom. We caught a crayfish on the tube and matched the hatch accordingly.

One other bite that was phenomenal this past weekend was the Jerkbait bite. Many fish were caught on the Jackall Squad Minnow 95, Lucky Craft Pointer 100, Megabass Vision 110, and Rapala X-Rap 10. As far as colors go, in the clear water we relied on the ghost minnow colors. When we were in the dirty water, we relied on Hot Steel X-RAP, Chartreuse Shad Squad Minnow, and Pearl Ayu Pointer 100.

The other technique that we caught fish on this weekend was the swim bait. The swim bait that we threw was a Keiteich Swing Impact 3.5 in Sungill. While fishing this bait, I was able to debut the new G Loomis GLX 803 spinning rod and I have nothing but great things to say about that rod. Not just sensitivity, but that rod may be the most comfortable fishing rod that I have ever held in my hand. I fished with it all day and have nothing but great things to say.

The final thing that I wanted to touch on in this blog was the ANGLR TRACKER. THIS THING IS AMAZING. Not only did it store my whole trip, but it let me know how many casts I made, waypoint every fish I caught, and logged all of the conditions while I was fishing. I want to do a live video on this in the near future, because I have only began to scratch the surface as to how awesome this tool will be. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR COANGLERS.
