I love this time of year and running into that exact same scenario, as a finesse light tackle plastic nut, it fits right into my strength. This time of year I always have my Ledge Runner 4" split tail rigged on a 3/8oz Kalin Ultimate jig head, small weight and small profile is required. Sometimes you can get hits on or near the surface by working it with quick jerk-jerk-pause type retrieve and other times letting it sink below the school slurping will get you bigger fish.

I got nothing. I suck today. I'm exhausted from 2 stressful and long weeks at work, fishing late nights and being woken up way too early.

Any interest in joining me in the morning?

Casting egg with a fly or teaser behind it......

I think you hit the nail on the head, Ross. The smaller stuff wouldn't get out to where they were and the stuff that I could reach them with was too big, I think. Of course I don't even own a casting egg.

When you find small bait packed in at night, you can sometimes do a job on large fish by fishing a big darter very slowly with lots of pauses and small twitches just beneath the surface...... make it look like a squid hunting the small bait. The biggest fish out there are not hunting the small stuff, they are hunting the stuff the small bait attracts.
