Calm day. Fish were not aggressive. Had to pick the area apart for this one. The Strike King Rattlin Pro Model by Denny Braurer, is one of the best Jigs to work in cover even with murky water. Something about that rattle draws them in after a few twitches. If they are not striking, its because there's no fish. Highly suggest picking one up if you have never used one. Just make sure to down size your trailer to compensate for the rattle.
