Spring time I'll do alot of day fishing ..Until the first extended heat wave then I'll go nights . The fish (schoolies ,small keepers ) seem to like small baits .. spooks,, pencils,, needles .. small spooks like the Jigman,,5 3/4" .. or the small Cordell 5 3/4" factory loaded 80's vintage pearl/white . or load and paint the newer ones ..Last year my jiggy wasn't jiving and for what ever reason they were loving the small cordell only .(knocked off in wood for this year). I also do well on my small 6" slow sink olive needle .. These plugs are for May with June favoring the canal with lead and sluggos and all size pp ,,yellow with a pearl/white belly . In certain area's around the herring run 6"-7"wood swimmers ,,, red fins .. I would prefer to catch fish top water and may sometimes be guilty of forcing the issue instead of s#^^^^^&g it up and throwing a ducky .. I've caught on darters in the canal .. Couple of years ago first fish of the year was on a (gibbs type) Eben darter .. I don't throw them nearly enough either ,, gotta fix that ..
