Returned to Arrowhead today on a solo Christmas vacation trip. Glad I did!
Early in, the fish wouldn't touch a jig. Had early success fishing minnows under a bobber and caught consistently. As it warmed up, I was determined to get them to hit jigs on the Livescope. I tried all my trusty colors, but couldn't get them to commit. I could seem them come inspect my jig, then move on. Finally I put on a white tube body with chartreuse skirt and tipped it with a minnow. Bingo.
I fished this way from lunch onwards as the wind picked up with great success. I ended up getting into some skipjack, too, so I put 9 in the live well for future catfish bait.
Caught 60 total crappie today with 15 keepers. Caught another 9 or so bluegill, bass, etc. Ended the day with right around 90 total fish caught. Excellent day.
