Shhhhhhhhh! 

This is blasphemy roe always works!  Don't listen to milo, keep using roe and I'll just bumble along with my artificials!

After all I have been hearing about Roe and trying it I found myself doing significantly better with Colorado blades this year.   They just seemed more willing to attack those but, then again, I was using pink and coho roe.  People tell me the Chum roe works better.

my personal experience is spots is the key to get fish... all other technics will help to refine the setup, or improve the seccess rate a little bit....  But it's always good to try the lighter setup going forward...

Well, on Friday I Wen to the Stave for the second time and caught more fish than I had all season. IT was a great day. got to practice playing and landing lots of fish. Landed about 10-12 and had 5-6 get off the hook. It was my best day of the season. IT started slow, cold and foggy and I Wasnt getting anything using colorados. Then my buddy was talking with someone who gave him a pink and blue jig and he started cathing with every 4-5 casts. I switched to a jig as well but didnt get anything but all I had was darker jigs with black in them. I switched to yarn then and still had no luck.

By then my buddy had started using his roe and kept catching fish. I then switched to the roe and bam, every couple casts I had a fish on. IT was like this for almost 2 hours and then it was like they just stopped hitting the roe when the fog burned off. Then a guy came up close to us and caught one on his first cast with a colorado so we switched back to them as well and the fish were on again.

Even though there was nothing keepable, it was a great day and I got alot more experience with the fish than I had all season. Its those days that make the days getting skunked worthwhile I guess.

Thanks for all the help, I did use smaller leader and hooks for the most part but those chum were hitting damn near everything.

That is the key.  Now you have confidence in a variety of tactics.  You get a sense of what hits look and feel like. You have learned to switch up methods regularly while out on the waterNext season you will be good to go.

I would agree this is key to catching fish from my experience.  Last year I would use the same thing all day bc everyone would say roe is best. Now I keep changing what I am throwing at them until I have success. From getting skunked over and over last year to just once this year. Still a long way to go tho.

The ability to fish a different variety of baits is essential,when trying to fish busy runs. Many times i have come into a spot where a few guys have been all day, with little to show for it, and nailed a fish on my first or second cast. It all comes down to trying something different than what is already being presented to the fish in the run.
