Yesterday, when guiding, I was often saying to the guy, you know, weve moved away from this lure size profile were off the fine jig heads and back onto top water lures so make sure you drag up again. Theres so much technology in this little reel

Legendary Lake Sturgeon Location: Railroad Bridge South-West of Saint-Denis Necessary Lure: Special River Lure This beast is not tough to catch but the manner in which you have to go about it is incredibly precarious

The 3/4 ounce jig can be fished very slowly through cover in 20+ feet and has amazing sensitivity for a micro jig

And if you just drop it on a Ned, it just goes tail up, and it just sits in the weed, but they just come over the top and hoover it up

Color: Black with chartreuse line

Tryon and Hendersonville These two small towns each about a half-hour from Lake Lure are unique in their history and culture, and worth checking out on a day trip
