Greg's report: I used three tipups, one with #4 hook and a Colorado blade flasher about 18in. above bait, a Gulp earthworm above a bullhead minnow; 2nd tipup had 1/4oz. splitshot above large shiner, #4 hook. Both were 4lb. leader. 2 Bass, 1 Perch. Third tipup had bullhead on similar setup. 1 Bluegill. No fish came on jigging rods, used white feather & yarn hand tie, small marmooska with meal worms, small spoon with fixed hook and mealworm. I wasn't very dedicated with jig rods and moved frequently. Dead sticked the marmooska/mealie on high sensitivity rod, used inline rod with handtie, ultralite baitcaster with fixed hook spoon/mealie.
