Table Rock Jigging And A Spoonin

[Bill Babler]

Point 7 to Point 10 and Point 9 to Point 22 has been the hangouts for some of us guide types for the last few days.

Not counting the whites, if you can stay away from them, the bass fishing has been just wonderful.. Could and probably will fall apart on me for this, but have been catching some very nice quality fish, both LM and K's in this area.

Fish seem to be up close early, and if it stays hazy and cloudy, they continue to stay pretty close. Been on the 3/8th. oz Chomper football in either PBJ or Green Pumpkin, with a Cinnamon Yamamoto twin tail as the butt section. I personally am not catching many Jaw's, and really can't figure that out, on this pattern, as we all know they love the crawdaddy's. Usually these hazy days, with lots of wind and surf, crashing the banks, as it is now is good medicine for the SMJ's.

I am for the most part however, fishing a little steeper stuff, and they are probably where they always are on the flat gravel.

As the sun gets hot, and it is getting hot. I am going to either bluffends or long gravel rolloffs, and using either a 1/2 oz lazer eye or any white or chartruse spoon I have. They seem for me to be better on the spoon than the shot. If I can't see them, I'm dropping to the bottom and bouncing it up about 6 ft. and watching. Today a pretty good trick was to find and fire them up with the spoon, and then drop the 4 inch Plum Chomper drop shot worm. Worked more than once.

I'm on the Rock all week, and will try and keep you somewhat posted on my inability to catch fish. It will for sure give you a pattern not to try.

Good Luck

What is the definition of Bluffend? Would it be the one that separates Cedar Creek and Carter Creek, but ends in Cedar Creek? Sorry for asking this dumb question, but just wanted to know.

Thanks

Bill,

I did the same exact thing when I was there in July. Crawler bite was slow, so I decided to play with a spoon and after jigging it up and down I noticed the fish would charge it, give it a sniff and then run off... So after a while of this I figured I could "call" them in with the spoon and then drop the crawler in on em, and it worked!

Not fantastic by any means but I caught a few doing the switcheroo, and it was fun! probably looked like a fool fumbling around with two poles... but I didnt care

Great report Bill. Went this afternoon. 1 to 9 (lightning run me off). Caught a 5lb. large on 1/4 oz spoon looking for those whites...lot of fun. We caught multiple fish on pb&j. 3 keeper smallies. One 4lb large on salt craw just at dark, really made my partners night.

never found the whites, but never went to long between bites. fished point 9 to point 11 and in Aunts. total - 25 fish, 5 keepers.

A bluff seperates Cedar and Carter, it has two ends and a middle. I'll let you figure out where the ends are.

Good Luck

Thanks Bill.

No more questions for me.

Thanks Bill.

You ask all the questions you want. Sometimes we all make it harder than it really is. I know I do.

Thanks for the participation
