You will also be able to find all of Gene's LakeTawakoni.com tips in the fishing tips pages of LakeTawakoni.com. November 1999 Jigging spoon's, slab's and little George type bait's (tail spinner's) are not only great baits for stripers but also catch their far share of black bass. These baits work year round but are at their best during fall and winter fishing in deep water. One of my favorite way's to fish these bait's is by almost not fishing them at all. Try this the next time your out and the fish are there but not hitting. Instead of the usual manner of jerking your bait off the bottom and letting it fall back try just barely lifting it off the bottom and setting it back down on the bottom slowly. Experiment lifting it at different heights and rate of fall until you find the one that the fish like. Good luck and good fishing. Gene Snider Find this and many more tips and tricks at http://www.laketawakoni.com/fish/ftips.html. If you have any tips or tricks for the site please e-mail them to Lake Tawakoni Online. ====================================================== I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears makes one you can ride on. --- Roseanne ====================================================== VII.
