Trader Mike was @ SKUNKSVILLE SUNDAY with a giant box of slightly used JIGGING RAPS for sale. They little SH marks on them & looked to used only once....

I got a box of blade baits a few years back for X-MAS & have never used them so this may be a perfect opportunity to donate a few to the lake bottom @ LH.

guaranteed to lose blade baits if you're fishing them properly for cold water! jigging raps you usually don't lose as many cause you can jig them under your sonar and keep them from pounding into a rock.

johnson thinfisher blade baits are pretty low price compared to others and i have to say i have no complaints about them. come in many colors, seem to work real nice, and they catch fish.

that being said i'm still wondering how cold the water is going to be...i read 62 degrees on my ff last night! we'll see what the cold fronts do.

Plug knocker... A lil birdie also gave me a tip about blade baits. Clip the front hooks off each treble...

The weather report looks good-cold on the overnight FRIDAY but SATURDAY looks to be cool but sunny (55-57f). Nothing yet on wind conditions until mid week though. Hopefully not blowing too badly.

What time will this floatilla get underway @ LH STATE PARK?

we usually head out around 7 so get there early to launch ur boats.

and an update:

getanet and myself scouted sunday morn w little going on. laurie has had trouble getting herring in the traps they are all 2" tiny baits and worthless IMO, all our fish came on binskys. Not sure how great the striper fishing will be, but theres plenty of crappie and fish all over in schools to go around. Im gonna scout again next weekend to see whats up, Im almost thinking if the bait situation is like this maybe make it a walleye M-N-G and head up to GWL instead and just make a jigfest out of it. Time will tell.......

I may be able to make it, but won't get my work schedule until the Tues, and then possibly switch the weekend day I work with someone. I noticed some guys have room on their boat. Since I have no boat, maybe I can hop on with someone? About the 2-inch herring. Laurie does have small stuff, but they're about 2 1/2 and a few about 3. We caught walleye on them Sunday under the cold front, and I wouldn't be surprised if hybrids take them. At any rate, while jigging Binskys, to put a weighted herring line over the side with the bait suspended off bottom might yield some fish. In the choice between chicken liver and 2 1/2 inch herring, I'll go with the herring. I think they're guys who have really got the chicken cooking just right down there for them, but I'm just not into that. But if I end up fishing with someone who is, I'll be plenty curious anyhow.

Beleive it or not the chix livers r the bait of choice right noe on LH the herring r too small for hybrids but they do work. All the regulars r fishing livers and most have stopped using thenherring due to size. Im with u i hate chix livers and would rather jig all day and run downlines off the sides. Hope it gets better i dont like how LH is becoming, the fishing has gone downhill the past few years i used to fish it 3 times a week all season long and do rly well
