Limit Of Whites Last Night

[duckydoty]

Got to Blunk Hole just as the sun was starting to go down. It was pretty crowded, but I was able to put the canoe right in and get a parking spot. Slipped straight across the river and there were 2 other gentlemen fishing the slack water below the shoal there, so I stayed in the moving water just above them. They were doing very well and wrapped it up at dark. As soon as they boated off, I moved the canoe down to the slower water and started nailing them. The bite was on till about 9 p.m then started to slow down. It took me till 11 p.m. to catch 4 more fish for a limit. Had to wade a little deeper out to get the last few fish. I was using a fly rod with a 12 foot sinking leader (Thanks Michael Kyle)with a 5.6 fps sink rate with a chartuese and white clouser. I would cast it out into the current then let it swing down below me and just let it sit there. That is when they would take it. Earlier when the bite was on, I used a 7 foot sinking leader with the 3 fps sink rate and the fish were more in the shallow slack water. No sows, all nice sized males.

Super!

[Micheal Kyle]

You are welcome if you don't mind I will just add how we did here.

Matt & I were able to finally put our boat in around 9 it was crowded.

When we started the bite was hot then died caught 8 fish with in the first 30 min. Then I could not buy a bite:)

I decided to move up to Taylor shoal that was a good decision caught nice males and a few sows.

We ended up fishing till 2am and brought 2 limits home.

I caught quite a few fish on the swing and I had the same set up as Duane had.

Good luck be back tonight

were you in a boat with a jet motor?

[Micheal Kyle]

No I have 6 hp prop we have to drag and push the boat through the shoal right up from the ramp. Seems like the shoal has filled in over the past few years. I guess that what happens when we have floods every year.

I have a small canoe and use a kayak paddle. I can scoot along pretty good when by myself. No problem going up stream. If I have another person in there, it does not gos so well.

You still have a prop on there? Heard you grinding it the whole way up...LOL!

[Micheal Kyle]

yep thats why I put the junky prop back on this time of year cause you never know when you might need to dredge a shoal out:)
