Smallies on jigs on the mudline. This place is a bluegill factory, havent been there yet this year where you couldnt catch as many nice gills as you wanted. I also hope to create a new fishing partner, so I can spend more time on the water. Thanks for your help.
Morning is definitely best for smallies, the gills and cats bite all day.
I have more success when I keep moving till I find a batch of gills, then slow down and stay in that spot with the trolling motor until the bite slows. Use a long shanked hook, easy to get a hold of when the gills inhale your bait, and just enough split shot to keep the bait moving and on the bottom. I usually need only one small split shot unless the wind is blowing very hard. Keep moving if you aren't getting bites, many people sit in one place too long. Good luck, remember to post as to how you did.
