It’s drawing power can tip you off to areas holding more and better fish, you can then slow down and pick off. The odd quick turn of the handle, twitch or brief pause can get followers to commit. It’s an excellent tactic to both find and catch numbers and size on Lake St-Clair. "

Caught them all throughout the water column on everything from swimbaits and ned rigs to jerkbaits and jigs. The best bait today though was a 3.3 keitech swimbait on a 3/8 dirty jigs guppy head. When the wind is blowing that combo is hard to beat this time of year. When the wind died down a wacky rig and ned rig fished close to laydowns worked good. "
