Another pres was 3' under a slip bobber drifting in about the same depth. I didn't have any live bait, and bass fishing was getting boring, so I tried for the specs and did pretty well. The twisters were about 1"-1 1/4" and I did best on white.............

Was this in August?  I had been catching quite a few in July with live bait (minnows), but then it seems they left where I had caught them. I have not tried a small ice jig tipped with a twister.  I just figured they went deeper or somewhere else as I wasn't having any luck finding them. I was fishing in about the same depth as you mention around tall weed edges, but was trolling real slow (almost not moving at all) with crappie minnows and catching very few.

Yes, last weekend Alphie. Bass fishing was a little slow and I needed a tug so I got the ultra lite out and started plucking 'em away at 'em.......GIve it a go, maybe that's what they're lookn for!!

Alphie:
Thanks for the tip.  I may try it this weekend.  I'm fishing primarily in Cass County, but I'm thinking it shouldn't matter.  Maybe they're looking for something different than I've been showing them.

The Prizz:
Goodluck this weekend if you give it a go!! Hopefully I will get some fishing in....Saddest weekend of the year for the Prizz clan, boats, piers, shorestaions all come out on Monday.....Say it isn't so!!!! I think I'm going to try the same presentation, but I'm going to upsize to the next twister size........Fill ya in on Tuesday........Have a great Labor Day Weekend!!!!!
