Fishing Buddy Don House Posted May 9, 2008 Fishing Buddy Share Posted May 9, 2008 Went out today for a full day trip with another great group. Fished from DAM to Joe Bald area with very good success, found fish still staging in all parts of the lake. In the Morning fish were out in the deeper water from 25 - 30 feet on the bottom. By noon they had moved into the flooded brush line on the bank in 8 - 15 foot of water. Grub was the best but we started to play with new ways to get a bite and found some. We had fish on the shakey jig, 1/4 ounce with a green pumpkin worm. Casting toward the bank and crawling back to boat. Every bite on this was a swim away, so you have to watch your line. Fish will take it with no bite and swim away. Same bite was also on the grub, no bite they were just there and all that was left was line coming out of there mouth. Next was a pretty good top water bite, for about 2 hours with drizzle and no wind. Shad were busting everywhere in the 30 - 35 foot range. Casting right to the group with a red fin look alike bait and slow rolling back to the boat. Fish would just blowup on the bait. Talked with Eric Prey and he also had a good bite on the spook, I will let Eric tell you about that. We also has a few fish on a texas rigged worm in green pepper pitched up in the flooded bushes, plus a few on the split shot rig doing the same thing.. All in all fun day of catching with alot of SM and Spots our best 5 went 15 pounds with one nice 3.5 smallie and alot of other fish. Good Fishing Everyone.. Capt. Don Capt.

Boy did it swell and hurt. Hope the doc gave you some pain pills, too, for the first day or two afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Don and Champ: Sorry you got bit that way, but I am reassured. I am not the only one on the forum to "hook up." See my blog for the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
