Fishing was slow Sunday morning at Harriet lake, so to change things up one of my buddies added a corky about the same size as the power eggs and extended his leader to about 4 feet. He immediately hooked a rather brutish 13 inch rainbow as soon as his line was set. I followed suit by adding...

Great fish, well done!

Last night was all keepers. Only really had two hours to fish by the time I got to the lake. I spent 2/3 of that time fishing my hideaway spots. When I got into the fish I was getting dark. But, I understand what you are saying. And, I was not "plopping".

This is brilliant! Do you use the "pellet" shaped ones or? The entire plug or do you trim it down at all?

I feel ya. The two pole allowance is great for this. Drop some power eggs on one pole, and a spinner or jig on the other. And like you said, go double power eggs and sit a spell while you munch or drink a beer. Switch back to a spinner when you get bored. Good stuff! I also picked up some of the...

It's a neat little deal. Not much steeper than your average driveway. Inflatables, canoes and kayaks should be easily launched from here. I agree though, they need something like this further up in the no wake zone.

How'd ya do last night man?

Oh, and I nipped off the barbs on the hooks I used last night. Never lost a fish I had on the line and was able to not damage them removing it. It felt a lot less cruel once I had them up on the bank.

Gotta love the power eggs! Had some nibbles doing the retrieve method at this spot I've been chasing a whopper at. Time was short so had to move to get some fish for the freezer. Killed em on orange and chartreuse two egg combo over by ramp C at Hagg lake. Picked up some half clear yellow and...

Generally, by the way they fight. In my experience. The stockers flop a bit, and hit harder. The hold overs seem to be more cagey and are a little softer mouthed.

Limited at dusk. Pics to follow. Chartreuse and orange power eggs. Ramp C.

Hagg bound after work!! Gotta love these longer days.. heh

I run the same rig. Carolina set up with #8 hooks, two eggs.. they float just fine. They'll also spin and agitate the the fish if you do a medium to slow retrieve with them or a decent length of leader under a bobber on a windy day. There is more to the eggs than letting them sit on the bottom...

Chartreuse power eggs, garlic scent, haven't done me wrong in the last two years. Been killing em this season on nothing but. Sheradin, Hagg, St. Louis.. they gobble it up.
