Great day at antero but a little slower than usual. Fished from 7 30 to 11 and boated 6 bows. Nothing special but alot of fun on the tube jigs. Lost 4 fish and 1 slob of a fish snapped the 4 lb test after a hundred yard dash off the north shore about 50 yards. Kept one that almost swallowed my 3 inch jig! he didnt want to swim away but delicious for dinner! Slowing down with the boats, people and fish unfortunately but antero recovers quickly. The one pictured was the one kept (hence the gill grab)

Sounds like a great day up at Antero :) From your pic it looks like it was pretty calm up there too (been a strange year like that up in South Park).

3 of us were at Antero as well today in our boat, we probably saw your boat out there. Fishing was bad for us, one of the worst we've had at Antero. We tried tons of lures, worms/powerbait on bottom and on a bobber, tube jigs like white,camo and didn't get anything. Weeds are so bad, it's hard to even use a tube jig. Even with lures you are constantly cleaning off weeds.

What color of tube jig did u use and did u put anything on the tube? Just curious.
