Afternoon On The Rock

[Bill Babler]

Kind of had my head handed to me on a platter this afternoon.

Was fishing twin rivers out of the knob and had made 1 pass catching 4 with 1 keeper, and a green ranger pulled in on me, with a couple of older gentlemen and a yapping red weener dog.

They were throwing rigs with weights about the size of tennis balls and it looked to be a black with orange clawed craw. I saw them catch 4, don't know the size, but they looked to be on fish. Good for them.

Fished from 2 to 5 PM and caught 16 with 5 keepers on 4 locations. Keepers with small slender K's that would have weighed nothing.

Shallowest fish was 16 ft. deepest was 46 ft. Jig and rig were my friends. Just threw it out shallow and dragged it to 50 on all the locations, 1 cast unless I captured a fish and then recast. Let the wind blow me and when it was not enough used the troller.

Saw some suspenders, and dropped a shot with the purple/brown lamb, but they ran from it like poision.

Good Luck out there

BILL: They were carolina rigging with 3/4 oz wts. Almost all the fish they caught were on baits with' chartruse' pinchers/tails. That particular spot has been producing very well the last month. As you well know , it's just a good, natural spot. Next time you see them, shoot the short, fat one , but don't hurt the the dog as his wife would be upset. : - )
