: : I have to be doing something wrong based on how many smallies you guys are getting in lake Mich.I live in Michigan City and fish along pier and outer breakwater casting to rocks with jigs with twister ,minnow ect.If I cast right on rocks it gets fouled with weeds immediatley.If I don't cast that close I don't get many hits at all.Haven't used tube worms yet are they much better?I may get one a trip or possibly two but lot of times nothing.If I add worm or minnow I keep getting gobys.Any advice? Sure could use it thanks in advance. Dave
: Try using spinners, crankbaits, other plastics with weedless hooks or jigs. I've been using 1/32 oz. jig with Cubby Minimite tails &maggots catching all the Smallies I want. Shadraps are also good. If its not working for you there try fishing west of where your at. Hammond , Pastrick, The port, Dean Mitchell, all these places are very fishable for Smallies. Remember if we want to keep catching these fish, make sure you put them back where you got them. Good fishing!
i have had good luck using a mepps spinner with the rubber skirt around the hooks,almost looks like a squid is on the hooks,very weedless...give it a try,and good luck....jay
