A friend and I hit Wheeler Dam after the rains passed this morning. We were drifting 1/2 ounce jig heads with soft plastic bodies in the generating water. We were having almost no luck and the bite was incredibly slow. We switched to small 1/4 ounce hair jigs on 6lb test and started catching some really big white bass. They all weighed slightly over 3 lbs. No telling how many we caught but it was a lot. I then hooked into a really nice 6.5lb hybrid that gave me all I wanted on my light spinning rig. A little while later I hooked up again with an even bigger one. This one weighed in at 9lbs and is my personal best hybrid. Those things were a blast on light tackle. Amazing runs and a doubled over rod. My buddy also managed one smallmouth bass that was probably in the 2-3 pound range which really isn't that big for down there. Can't wait to get back there again. I love fishing Wheeler.
