(www.rat-l-trap.com) & pumpkin/chart. Whacky Sticks (www.cremelure.com) rigged wacky style on a 3/0 "K" Wacky Hook (www.falconlures.com). Upriver, the water is a bit off-color due to recent rains but spawners
are still on shallow flats on the inside of channel turns where Gulp Worms, Rat-L-Traps and white/chartreuse Terminator spinnerbaits work best.
