Did you ever get it into your head you were going to use a special lure and nothing else. I have seen alot of posts here and the other site about all the success guys were having with JERK baits. I had never used one but I decided I would try no matter what. Well after an hour and a half with not so much as a bite I began to realize why they call them JERK baits. Anyway water temp was 69 and the water was very clear (for the river). After the great JERK bait fiasco I managed 5 or 6 SMB and alot of rock bass. LMB must be hiding somewhere. Nothing on buzzbaits or spinnerbaits or even as I call them the dreaded SENKO. All fish were caught on POP-R'S. Kind of wish I hadn't bought all those buzzbaits and spinnerbaits (produced the most last year) this spring. Oh well the fish are safe again at Lake Housatonic. cmorjoe
