Eloika is kind of a mystery before it warms up a touch and some of those weeds start to grow in. a few more warm weeks and you'll be out there reeling in chunk after chunk with those same tactics.

3/8/2010 5:57:00 PMThanks Nik. I guess I'm close to the answer. I'll take your advise and throw more of the same. Goin slower is my problem. Do they have much to do with lizards?? Or the Strike King Iguana that I have been throwing Texas style. Found out that it has a natural tail up floating action when thrown Carolina too. Here in another week or so I will be out there @3 days a week. Cant get enough practice I say.

3/8/2010 10:11:00 PMwhen the water hits the upper 40s try slow rolling a spinnerbait around shallow laydowns and brush. that lake is loaded with perch and they spawn around then, and for some reason a spinnerbait does the trick during that time. i know a lipless crank is supposed to be the ultimate cold water reaction bait, and i'm sure in most parts of the country it is, but for me up here in the NW a slow rolled spinnerbait in that cold water is money in the bank.
