Dead Slow Fishing

So a buddy and I went out today to the freshwater park. Saw a ton of bait fish schooling and fish chasing them and bustin' the top. But no luck. I mean we threw everything at them. Topwaters, plugs, cranks, plastics, you name it and nothing happened. But lucky there is always tomorrow and I can give it another go round. Hopefully somebody else had some better luck than we did.

It looked like a great day for fishing. I figured with the clear skies, bright sunshine, it would warm the water and bring out the Tucs.
I saw Stan cruising up H-2 enroute to scope out the action.

Maybe he did better but, I guess that they didnt want what we had to offer. Maybe I will run up to the bait shop on the North Shore and see if they have anything else that I can sling at them.

Just imagine using the bubble rig, except replace the bubble
with a 1/4 oz. lead weight. The fishing supply place will show you how to rig it. I think the guys I say catching schooling fish on Sunday afternoon were using clear twister tails with colored glitter. "Firecracker" I think they call it.
You can fish it shallow or deep.
