Mixed bag from today

[2sac]

Got some good bites today, and some not so good ones. In addition to the pics we got a few short keeper bass and a few more short bass. Water 78*-83* Swimjigs and soft plastics were the baits of choice. Bite completely died after 11:00. Both the trash fish were caught on swimjigs. The walter in the mouth and the carp in the tail. The carp weighed in at 12lb. I'm guestimating 6 on the walleye. She was bleeding from the mouth and it took a few minutes to revive her but she swam away full force. My sons bass was over 4.

Swimjigs are Northstar Baits 3/8oz in "Bull Gill" color with Big Bite Baits Cane Thumpers as trailers. I switch up the trailers to match the jigs, but the green pumpkin blue swirl and watermelon ghost seem to work best with the bluegill colored jigs. The guy makes high quality hand wire tied jigs with an average price tag and the widest variety of colors I've seen.
