Report: Went for the 1st time in 10 years to fish .Last time there, 3 years ago, I bought a boat from Ron stoll
The fish were up on the bank and down to 8ft.
It was overcast in the morning and my dad caught fish on nightcrawlers one after another. He ran out of 25 worms in 2 hours.
I caught fish on 4 1/2 in. robo peoples worm on a spot remover. I flipped it into the big brushy bushes and the big ones ripped them apart.
went to the larger worm and they didn't want it. went back to small worm and got fish.
tried crappie for 1/2 hour canned that idea and fished 1/4 oz brown /purple jig with yamamoto, cin/purple flake 4" twin tail. 3 more fish. Closed out drop shotting 4 1/2" prism craw the rest of the day. Finished with close to 20 fish. 15 inch and better were in the bushes. lots of 2lb. bucks in the open shore line water.
Going back next week to flip again. |
Tips: Quiet water was better early in the day.
Brown worms. Try the bases of brushy bushes.
If you just want to have fun with the family or friends and you want to get bit...... fresh, frisky, nightcrawlers.
6lb. flouro, Gamakatsu weedless octupus hooks.
Toss them close to or into the short scrub brush and hold on.
Im sure that the reaction bite will happen for some. I just feel they're cruising for a meal and defending their new nest territory |
