re: OB paddlers: When is west cove marsh (Big Lake) open?

They'll bite it, settle to the bottom, turn it sideways in their mouth, then start to eat it. Typically if I feel a bit I'll relax my rod, sometimes even let some slack, count to 30, and then set the hook. Even doing this I've still reeled some in that were only holding on by the tail of the jig and never had the hook in their mouth. Teaching myself to be patient was the toughest part about learning to target flounder.
