Still on Fire!!

That was action from last night?

hey j_howell you headed out there tonight

Can someone give me a clue. I am have been to the barge a couple of times and have caught more LMB than sandies and hybrids. Actually I believe i hooked a hybrid but it threw the hook. I am throwing baby shad lures on 1/16 and 1/8 jig heads. I downsized to 4lb mono. How fast do you guys retrieve the jig? I think that is the only thing that I could be messing up. Thanks

Try the outside points for sandies. That's where I've had by best luck. I always retrieve as slow as possible without touching the bottom when fishing shallows and when fishing the deeper points, I tend to either cast out and let the jig fall back to me or let it sink slightly before retrieving slowly as it sinks. I always find that slight twitching action sporadically helps as well both while retrieving or letting it sink.

update:
went out last nite from about 9pm to 3am and had constant action all night on the right side point with the light pole. i limited out on sandies. they would not hit my jig if my life depended on it. minnows on a slip anywhere from 6ft to 14ft was the killzone. it was windy but and freezing but they were chasing the shad all night. threw it anywhere that had light touching water. i have pictures but not enough patience to figure out how to post. ill text anyone the pics if they would post them for me!? just pm me

Hey Garrett, I'll be there around 8pm tonight... this is Tim, the dude you been fishing with out there on that 1st point.

Mike, tell me something good! I need some good fishing action BAD sir... You mind if I take your number down? You going to be there tonight? I may need to bring the minnow bucket, dress warm, and restock on slip bobbers.

Lol. Ya call of text when ever. I took the night off yesterday. But from what redraider1301 said I don't think anything has changed. I work the next 3 nights so come out anytime. I don't think anything should be different tonight. They should still be there. I am going to try for some hybrids.

Posting some pics for Redraider1301.









I think this was last night.

4Lb mono them hybrids will be hard to get in on that. Set that drag light and be ready to lip the fish at the water if you try to lift in SNAP!.
I use 10lb braid and no less then 6lb mono as a leader.
DWD is on track as to the retrieve. Ask around to find what is working in plastics or minnows most will be glad to show you what is working for them.
Good luck

Ok about line. Yes I think 4lbs is to lite for barge fishing. But I don't like braid!!! This is my opinion.

I will not go in to the best and worst line with y'all right now. But I will let you know what I use. 6lbs tight line by off shore angler. It is 6 bucks for 2155 yards!! I love it. In the last 3 weeks alone I have got over 40 hybrids off of it. I have also got buff and carp with this line up to 13lbs.

Just my
