Wipers

AndyL;
We call 'em hybrids here too but every time I post someone tells me they are Wipers. Don't care much what they're called, just like to catch, smoke and eat 'em. Have you tried them smoked? Like the 2 to 3 pounders for ease of filleting.
Thanx a million for ALL the info. I have a locater, know the lake pretty well and know where some of those pea gravel inlets are.
Have some variation of most of the lures you mentioned. Here, if they "jump" it's mid July to August. A white, 1/4 oz. Rooster tail in line spinner with silver blade is the "go to" here. Fish it pretty fast, near the surface through the feeding fish.
I'm going to print out your post, it really is loaded with the info I was looking for. I think that some of your technique will work for me. Next trip...I hope you catch a whole pocket full.

best to you and yours...
