I think it would be more sporting to jump them. Try that in the bathtub next time you have it out. would go something like this... THUNK *grant making a mad scramble for a bailing bucket.....* ohhhh not so good....

Maybe once the water warms up and goes down. I not a big fan of swimming in cold fast water. Kyle and I figured the front of my boat is shaped the way it is to facilitate jumping things. I'll sell tickets and cut ya in on the profit!

Yea its time..... Bagged some nice ones on Fri. 2 over 9lbs another 6 in the 3-6lb range. Lost a few nice ones. Took awhile to get out of sturgeon mode. Get out of the main current, or find a really good break, and you will find the hungry ones. water temp 56F

I had a good weekend also Friday night before 10 had three runs with the largest fish being the first but my knot broke, 2nd fish of the night was a 25 x 14 flat I figured to be roughly 10 lbs and I flat out missed the third run of the night. Sat around 9 pm finally got a run and she was a big flat fought the fish which is fun with the current the fish feel like a ton of bricks right now. Got her to shore didn't horse her up on the 2 inces of muddy bank I had to use and I don't have a net and she also broke off  Then Sunday morning I went out around 7 am and caught another 25 x 14 I was fishing in the same area could've been the same fish. I need the try some new knots  The action has been early in the evening for me also.

The fish might be there but if you're not in the exact right area of that spot you might not get anything.
