Shell Knob

[T-RockJaws]

Fished out of the Shell Knob bridge last night with the Wednesday night group. Bunch of good guys there, really enjoyed it.

Fishing was pretty tough as it has been for the last 3 to 4 weeks. Started out working a drop shot, but could not really find any fish stacked up. Only able to manage about half a dozen short spots before dark. Watermelon with a purple flake was my worm of choice last night with the drop shot, but had a couple hit on a small purple worm as well.

We did try to work a jig a little bit before dark with very little success. Had one short and one small perch on the PB&J jig. Did not throw a jig at all after dark though.

As night approached, we made our way to one of our favorite banks. Right at dusk had a nice 4 pound large mouth hit a 12 inch worm followed shortly by my partner hooking up with another 4 pounder. Pretty well stayed on that bank the rest of the night finishing with 6 good solid keepers going 15.57 pounds. All but one of our keepers came on big worms with the other keeper coming on a 4 inch salt craw. Typical night time colors.

Don't get me wrong, the fishing was tough last night. My partner and I just got lucky that a few good fish were on our bank!
