[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 499941, member: 337"] I ended taking the family out to Van Hook on Tuesday - we went about half way down the arm on the west side and joined a group of boats there. I hadn't fished there in 30 years - so it was neat to go back. The glass conditions may have calmed the hot bite somewhat - judging by our take and the slow show of nets by others. It certainly wasn't a great bite for dragging bait (minnows and crawlers) - we got skunked doing that. We caught six 16-22" fish pitching jigs/crawlers/minnows in ~15 fow. Which sucked for my Mom who isn't exactly a jig pitching expert. But she sure tried - for hours and never gave up. She's in her 80s and her "pluck" is such an absolute inspiration. Most other boats seemed to catch theirs pitching also. Saw some jigging raps getting a workout but they didn't seem to busy with the net. [/QUOTE]
