Speaking of small local shops...
Belinda & Todd have a small place out back at Lake Fork and she makes baits with input from local anglers. I think Ken Gaby had input into BES (Black Emerald Shiner). I like the emerald part, they put some kinda shad looking sparkly glitter in it. Gives you confidence when it looks just like the shad they are eating. lol
I also like anything with blue, so I rigged some up last week that have the color of a little bream. I prefer to fish with bigger baits, but they like more finesse in summer and winter. So I went with slab bugs and even L'il Frys on light line.
I had to take my boat out for a test run, so dropped a jig or two on my home lake. Sunrise on the Lady...
Like I was saying, light line, tiny bait... choked it
Went back to 12# braid though for most of the fishing...
Caught a few fatties and headed home.
