They hold on, not as good as a death grip. But they hold on better than just about every other brand. I’m not a fan of the screw coiled locks on jig heads, that are on some of the bass lure jig heads they don’t hold the lure as well. I seen the z-man trout eyes and thought I’m not paying $6 for 3 jigheads. That’s one reason I started making my own. Plus when you lose 7 or 8 jigheads between hwy11 and train bridge you find a way to make it cheaper and why not make a better looking one too?

I’ve caught one at the dam in Hopedale last year in September.

How bout watching 3 men take 5 minutes to either launch or load a boat.
Or having to ask someone holding a rope kindly to pull their boat to the end of the dock so that others can launch. I see it every time even at 5:30am

When it’s first open, the trout fishing is usually good until it’s all fresh water. In the past usually caught a lot of redfish until algae blooms start happening. After we get algae, have to move around more and find clean water. Usually stop fishing the lake and start fishing ICW and borgne or start going out to fish summer pattern (rigs and islands).

Nice!

Nice! yes it was a good day fishing.

I always use an 1/8th or 1/16th, because 1/4 and 3/8 are better suited for straight jig fishing. IMO! and also if your throwing a cork regardless of weight your lure is still getting in the same strike zone because of the leader length. and also usually when you buy a pack of jigs there is more 1/8th oz or 1/16 oz jigs in a pack than the 1/4 or 3/8. I make my own jigs now so I’m not so concerned about cost of jigs and how many I have. I’ll use a little heavier of a jig with a cork only if the water is super rough, but also try to avoid those conditions.

</div><div>My answer! I usually keep forward momentum even if I have to make the trout do a figure 8 in the water, just don’t let your line go slack. If you have one on a hard plastic jerk bait use the net. Those treble hooks do their job well.</div> -
I’ve been trying to get back on it, I caught a 24inch on the train bridge. in march. Would love to beat that before summer.

The little island by spot 5 go on outside of that island, it’s usually only 1 ft and that area is full of oyster shells. ( I’ve drifted it several times caught trout) There is some poles marking oyster reefs. That running outside of them will keep you in 3-4ft depth.

No! It was still out Friday

I sure hope not.
I remember discovering the blog and the podcast. I wish the podcast would comeback that would be a good listen for my long drives during the week.

Best time to fish the pearl, Nov, Dec,Jan, Feb, March, July is usually good too. I often launch from the public launch on 90 at east pearl, I’ll go to ICW, lake Catherine for reds in summer and then if that don’t work out I fish west pearl for bass. It’s a free launch. I’ll launch from the rigolets too and go to the west pearl, it’s not much of a difference in ride. Pearl river is a great place to bass fish and it’s a great option for when the wind is too bad to fish in the lake.

I drift fished a lot of this in October, did good. Last month I fished this area on the beginning of one of my trips behind the dam. Caught throwbacks. But that’s not saying those trout haven’t grown since then. It’s still worth trying. The wind forecast is good for that day too. The tide could be better.
