Title: Took my son fishing today.

We fished the Everglades, and although the fishing was pretty tough, my son came across the pattern that saved the day!!

Thanks Lip. The saving bait was a centipede on a 1/16 weight.

Its pretty common Lip, at least with me. Depending on the fall rate, I may also go to 1/32. Fish can be very picky, and something as simple as a weight change can make a huge difference.

I do the same thing with my Crappie jigs also. Sometimes they want it fluttering down real slow.
