Thumbs up Ol'sparkle eyes...

So you go out with a bucket of minnows, small white colored jig heads with a 2" white twister tail...take your 20lbs suffix line add a 4" steel leader snap on the jig head...add a minnow...drop'er down in 10'-14' of water...first day at this spot produced eyes, perch and gators.....so I brag about it to Ol'sparkle eyes...big mistake as she is the real skipper of the boat so out we go yesterday for some eye slaying action...yup...2hrs hours of non stop action we stopped with a double header..one of too many to count....why because we went through all the minnows, multiple twister tails and were simply fished out...tired....on the way home I looked over and said we brought food etc eh.....yup another outing of to little time to eat or drink....slept well last night.

Looks like an awesome day fishing. And the wind looks minimal which seems rare these days!

No guff eh? We can use the exact same hooks, line, etc. but she whups me. Clearly I'm the better fisher but she usually catches the first one & the most.

Op, great pics & fun when the better half has as much fun catching as we do watching. Thanks!
