Morey 7/25
Message:
Hit Morey pond from 5:30-8. Air temp: 80ish Water temp: no idea Visibility: 3ft Weather: rain early then clear skies with no wind Other boats: NONE! Started out tossing the jig at the shorline to the right of the launch and quickly picked up a 12" LMB. It hit on the fall. I then caught a dink on a wacky rigged watermelon red flake dinger. Now through the tunnel. I quickly picked up a 1.5lbr along the highway and missed another one. We move to the northern cove and we start to mark fish in 10fow. I then tried getting the jig down to the bottom, and swimming it back to the boat. I had one good bite doing that, but I couldn't set the hook fast enough. Then my dad hooks up with a good one in 10fow with a wacky worm on the bottom. He gets it up to the boat, and it turns out to be a very healthy 2lb 3oz LMB. All fish were very healthy looking and also very fat. Not one pickerel was caught, which I guess is a good thing. :D

That's why I love wacky-rigging; no missed hooksets! I'm going to have to try fishing in the evening sometime. I tend to head out in the morning. Have you tried Texas-rigging a finesse worm with a very light weight this year? I haven't fished Texas-rigged at all, but think a floating worm with a slow fall would be deadly. It would probably present similar to a drop shot.

PECo, I have fished texas rigging this year, and I have caught countless fish on it. I have only caught fish on it when I didn't put a weight on it. I think they like that slow fall. A finesse worm with a light weight is a good idea, I will have to try it the next time I go out. I have also heard of people putting finesse worms on jig heads wacky style. Maybe a very light jighead would work well.
