Tip of the Day
> I flip a jig 100% of the time until the water temperature gets above 70 degrees. Fish tend to feed more on crawfish up to the spawn, and then get on a more shad and bluegill diet.
> Fall rate is of utmost importance. Match the jig speed to the mood of the fish.
> Changing the sink rate of a jig does not mean cutting off one and tying on a heavier jig. I alter the fall rate just by varying my trailer. I fish a 1/2-oz jig 99% of the time, but I can make it act like a 3/8- or 1/4-oz just by switching to a bigger, bulkier trailer.
> I’m comfortable with that jig weight, and that eliminates one more decision I have to make on the water.
> Another way I’ve simplified my trailer selection is to limit myself to just two colors, black/blue for dark water or dark conditions and green pumpkin for clearer water and bright days.

Quote of the Day
Going to try and stumble into a miracle tomorrow!
– Tweettered by Elite rookie Jason Lucas yesterday after: "Had the worst practice ever!"
Least he's honest…or sandbaggin'. If I wuz an Elite pro, would be tweetin' (with pic) "SLAYIN' 'em on a Carolina-rigged French fry" to mess wif some heds.
