owasco wednesday 10/01

it was my first time fishing owasco for lakers. i did what the locals told me. drove around until i found bait pods then stopped and jigged over the top of them. i even had the same jigs and colors (white) as everyone else. nothing. the other boats around me were catching plenty. i must have been doing something wrong. after 2 hours i got frustrated, put the riggers down and caught 3 on a purple spoon in 30 minutes. dragged the spoon right through the middle of the bait. about 60 ft down. and yes, i did forget to get a new sportmans liscense. oops. will do that today.

Did you drop the jig right to the bottom and then reel up? Have had success with dropping the jig right to the bottom, waiting until I was directly over it and reeling the jig straight up. Definitely not like jigging for walleyes but have had good success with this technique in the past.

Good luck.
