Reported by
For Rod And Reel

Eagle Lake (MI)

For Rod And Reel reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Football Jigs technique and Googan Baits Bandito Bug - EOL on Eagle Lake. Additional comments from this report: "I'd take a football jig by strike king, probably brown or green pumpkin, and pair it with a Googan Alabama Krackin Craw. That seems to work best for early spring fishing (spawn). Just work it nice and slow around the banks and you'll get hit."

Helter_Stelter

Horseshoe Lake (MN)

This lake doesn’t have a ton of structure and we scanned it pretty well, but we were able to find a rock point with some scattered weeds and they were stacked! We would slow roll football jigs over the rocks and they would hammer them. Then to keep them fired up we threw heavy jackhammers because the fish were so active. I pretty much always have a chatterbait of some sort tied up. Not a bad way to spend a Monday off.
