If you don’t believe me about the tick situation take a quick stroll through any of the high grass on the shoreline. If I so much as brush against a cattail I end up crawling with ticks. Not a good thing when you are fishing on your lunchbreak and find a tick crawling up your neck in the middle of a meeting. As for colors black, blue or green pumpkin are my usual colors. Caught this decent 17” lmb before work today on a sexy Shad squarebill crank. They are def. biting!

Can confirm ticks are present at overpeck, I was wearing cargo shorts near the dock by the bridge and had one on my shorts, nice catch! I also noticed a lot tall grass in the water, I'm given the impression that the entire bottom of overpeck is just one big old weed grass field hahaha
