Right at the cusp of the Fall season I visited Cross and Pokegama which became a heavy favorite of mine in my earlier tournament years. The fishing has been average to dismal out there the last few seasons, but if you catch it on a good moon cycle it can be an outrageous bite. However, it was an average bite the day I went out. Normally flipping dead timber, deep docks, and the Snake River can show promises during these days. For whatever reason this outing was differently. I find my most success throw or skipping a weedless Ned Rig around deeper timber and soaking it. When everything else was failing - this really shined for me and saved the day. It is a good thing to try if you are having a bad day. I highly suggest using 'weedless neds' with this type of fishing or you will lose tons of ned rigs. Fish on! Oh- if you found the baitfish (bluegills, perch, or minnows) you would find the bass.
