Member Posts: 141 Location: Oshkosh, WI | The first thing I would suggest is to go back on the board and see what people were talking about during this timeframe and a little after on the board last year. You will also find long and interesting threads that take place toward the end of winter when people are more interested in talking about fishing because they are not busy doing it. There are also some good articles on this site and others. I have found people here to be very helpful, but you may want to narrow down your question in order to get more focused answers. I am not trying to be cagey - I haven't been out yet this spring - trying to get my bow rider sold so I can buy a real fishing boat. I am sitting in my office wishing I was fishing  good luck. | ||

my advice to a newbie, find the masses, fish with or somewhat near them, drop a jig down with a minnow, STAY VERTICAL and in CONSTANT control of where your jig is(feeling it "tick" bottom") and fill the livewell. watch the other people around you, you can learn alot about the correct technique and "jig speed" by watching the more successful guys. by that i mean, you can have 10 boats floating the same stretch of river, and sometimes only 3 or 4 of them may be catching fish. Jig sizes and colors are very important, like before, keep a close eye on what happening around you. You should be able to get away with only 2 sizes, 1/4 and 3/8 oz, with the most popular colors being chartuese and orange, but dont be afraid to try other colors. Last year around this time i was doing very well on black(normally a fall color), and was the only person catching fish on a particular part of the river fishing along side numerous other boats. hope this helps, good luck and dont forget to fill us in on how you do  Edited by wannagopro 3/27/2007 11:26 PM | |||
