Jimmy,
I don't know if WI is in my future this year if the work keeps up in FL the way it is projected. Since I pulled the boat down here to FL I know I wont be pulling it to WI and I may even have to fly in to attend the festivities. If that is the case, I may just have to rely on Greg for a day or 2 on the water. I wont have any of my gear either. Maybe I can hook up with Gregs friend and hit the big water again. I've looked at renting a bassboat for my stay on the chain but there are none around.
As for the Wong Rig, I cant imagine what came up if you googled it!!:lol: Actually it is a very simple rig and it works very well. I cant take credit for it. Judy Wong of the WBT won a major tournament fishing the discharge of a powerplant when she could not keep a tube on the bottom because of the current. We ran into the same situation 2 years ago on St Clair. We were drift fishing and the wind was howling so even with drift socks out we could not keep tubes down low in the strike zone because of the speed of the drift. I remembered what Judy did (a fellow Yamamoto pro-staffer as well) and decided to give it a try. I rigged a 5 inch Senko on a 1/4 oz gamakatsu football head jig, hook exposed. Mac, Mini and Neeley don't have a problem just putting on a heavier tube weight but I am weight adverse and my gear is not set up for heavy weight fishing. It was a huge success because not only did the senko get to the bottom, the football head jig actually "walked" side to side as it was dragged along the bottom. It does foul up a little because of the exposed hook but overall it SLAYED them. Carlos and I went through 15 bags of senkos in 1 day. Last year I used the same setup on braid to bed fish (after a harsh scolding from Mac and losing probably my biggest smallie ever). I can just take credit for naming it and Mini actually called me from a show he and Mac were doing with Judy and he told her about the Wong Rig and she got a kick out of it. Mac and I also showed it to Kim Stricker who was filming a show on St Clair and I cant put his response on here!!:lol:
TOXIC
They didn't do any tank work but gave a couple of talks on a make-shift stage. It was nice since Woo just got inducted into the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. The drive back to Florida was Brutal!!
