Sundays Report

Was up early this morning about 6:30, felt lazy so I started out in front of the condo at Short Creek. Set up on the edge of the hole next to the stump and started fishing a 1/16th Olive/Ginger zig jig. The first two casts were nada and then they turned on, caught 10 on consecutive casts, had a little coffee and headed up to the trophy area. Boated to just below Lookout and worked the bluff bank down until just before the tennis courts with the same jig. Noticed the fish were really swarming but no "real" hits. Switched to a sculpin 1/32 and that was the ticket, fishing was absolutely lights out . Switched color a few times and the color didn't seem to matter, just the size. One thing I did notice was after about 10 fish, they seemed less interested, but once you switched it up, they were right back on again. The weird thing was that they didn't want the jig on the bottom, only about 3 ft deep and to say the takes were light would be an understatement, you had to littlerally watch your jig disappear and the set the hook. Worked down to in front of the Fall creek construction and due to the wind, broke out the jig and float and 5ft deep woth an olive 1/80th and the fishing was great through there. All in all probably boated about 70 fish in just over 3 hours on a variety of different set ups. The fishing seems really good right now, but it is a little more difficult due to the soft takes. Gotta be willing to switch it up periodically and have a jig and float ready when the wind kicks up through there. All in all, nothing huge, a couple pushing 18" but all the rest were 15-16" and still looking fat, healthy and packing alot of fight. One "strange" thing was I kept two silver bullets for my grandmother and when I cleaned them they were FULL of POWERBAIT!!! I wouldn't have thought anything of it, but I kept them just down from Lookout at the begining of the morning, so they either made quite a trek upstream of somebody was being "naughty!!" LOL! Hope this report help, hadn't seen many so I figured I throw in my 2 cents!! Good luck out there!!
