How's the water clarity down there Jeff?

i was wrong

when the wind finally stopped last night, the river froze quickly.

water had a bit more stain in it today

i could see my jig down at least 2'

been crystal clear prior

there are good numbers of small bass (8 to 14")
best reported catches are a few b/t 3 and four pounds

perch are coming in. most are runt males
seen a handful of 8 to 10" females.
havnt fished the deeper water toward I95

keeper crappie are in the area
there are roving schools as well as the regulars pinned on cover
figure them out for the day and you load  up
citation class crappie can also be had
a day of diligent work may turn up 1  or more

best baits for me are 1/32 jigs, rigged twister or tube
light tackle makes for good fun
some diehards prefer a 2" Fin S (Herb Reed) on a long shank
1/16 or 1/32 jig head

the silver buddy brigade also does regular business on bass & Perch
i  dont throw them, but i see them work
