Finally found some action today, and it wasn't on the lake..and it wasn't cheap! These fish are going to cost, but i had a blast. I went below pomme de terre dam this evening, i saw tons of fish spawning, they looked like carp or drum maybe, but they were all facing upstream and they were thick..but now and then i would see silvery fish that didn't look like the "carp" moving in between the carp..the moss has begun to develope so my jigs weren't working out too well, so i put on the most realistic jerk bait i had, it ended up being the perfect move. I won't give up my exact spot, because i'm going back tomorrow and saturday! But i will tell you all that largemouth are below the dam in really nice numbers, this evening i caught 6 bass before losing my perfect lure, 4 were around 14-15 inches, and 2 around 12 inches. After losing the lure, i put the closest thing i had to that one on, it was also a jerk bait, but it was less "real" looking, i wasn't getting hit every cast like i was on the other one, but i did land a 5 pound female with a belly full of eggs. 7 fish caught in 45 minutes in one spot, several came un hooked on the way in. Run the jerk baits slow with several twitches..don't be afraid to walk for your fish, thats the only hint besides below the dam i will give :)
