rps Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 YIKES! When I got up this morning, the lightning was thick as the trees around my house. Looked at the weather map and decided to try this afternoon. Went out at 11:00. Saw and heard bass feeding in the marina stalls as I was getting ready. If Alan didn't get so crazy when people fish the docks at Holiday Island, I would have started with that pattern. Caught a keeper on a Jewel jig almost with the first cast off the handicap pier. I moved to the back of Leatherwood and fished the baitfish schools I found on the flats with a buzz bait. Five fish with an 18 inch keeper as the bragging point. Went out to the main lake and fished two points. End of the day - eight fish in the boat, three keepers, two on jigs but the largest on a buzz bait. What fun.
techo Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I guess I haven't been caught yet, but I fish those very docks often. I had to put in at Mills Creek today. I spent part of the day a t a friends lake cabin visiting. I saw Buster had put in there too. We caught seven today. All shorts. Some at twelve feet and some at eighteen feet. We caught them on crank bait, Jewel jig and drop shot. We had one hit on spinner bait. I have to confess that I am not the biggest fan of the spinner bait and usually don't stay with it long. All in all it was a great day with great stories and a few fish. Tim Carpenter
