Saturday

[denjac]

After fishing Wed, Thurs, friday all half days and only catching 1- 2 fish a day they finally bit today. My son went with me today. He was throwing a jerk bait me the grub. Ended up with 20 or so fish with 5 keepers out of the bunch. Best one was a 3 pound black. 3 smallies mixed in with the rest. The grub was the bait today , it out caught the jerk bait two to one. They are starting to smack the jerk bait like they are supposed to, so it wont be long.... Water temp. was 46. Fished from point 2 to point 7. For me if you wernt in a creek you didnt get bit. Boat in 25 - 30 ft throwing to outside of the timber. It was my sons birthday today, to bad he didnt catch most of the fish!! Couple of pics showing the average of what we caught. The KY are starting to toad up. Every time I would catch one on the grub , Jason would say that dammed ole grub, ( he doesnt like to throw it). Fished from 7;30- 1:00.

Nice ones! We discovered the same thing yesterday. Nothing doing on jerkbaits, but they were liking the grub and jig. Didn't tear 'em up and didn't really start catching any until the afternoon after the rain got steady and never quit. We stayed out on the bluff ends and finished the day at dark with an estimated 6lb LM. That was an awesome way to end the day. Most of our fish had been small with a few fat keeper just-measure fish. No flash on the camera phone, so we didn't get a picture. Biggest fish I have ever personally caught on a jig. Well, not counting my legion of drum. Fun times. What a surprise when I got that firm, distinctive tick. Most of the fish had just been on when you checked your line with a few light bites. I told Champ188 I know my eyes got real big, particularly when I set the hook and she went to shaking her head. Ooh-wee!

You guys had better luck than I did. I launched at Aunt Creek on Saturday and fished from 12:30 -5:00 in the rain. I did not get a bite. I was determined to learn how to fish the jerkbait and came up with the big zero. I was fished bluffs, points, 20' of water to 70' of water and the results were the same. I cant figure out the jerkbait. When you fish in the rain all afternoon are you entitled to at least 1 fish .

I threw the jig (no surprise) for the last 30 minutes.

Question, how are you guys/gals working the grub? Working it slow like a worm? "Scrubbing" the bottom? Or swimming it just off the bottom? Might be able to make it down there for Thursday and Fri for a few hours of fishing.

Fished Sunday afternoon, pretty tough. Caught 5 with 1 keeper. 4 came on the McStick and one on a jig head fluke. Pretty slow, fished the Campbell Point area all afternoon. Water was 43-45.
