Quick Need Help.....

[Berk]

First off, take a deep breath and Slow Down. That area is covered with fish that are tearing it up. You only need 3 baits, but you need to be able to fish them properly. I mean this, no fooling around. You asked for this advice. You are here to fish and I am going to tell you how to catch them, but you had better take this to heart. SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

The 3 baits are a surface chugger. Don't really care what it is. Chugbug, PoP-R, Yellow Magic, does not matter. Early in the morning, Get started no later than 6:30 AM, it to the bank, in any pockets with mixed gravel and chunk rock. Does not need to be on a point, just cuts, coves and pockets. YES, with the Boys you will throw it on the bank, you will get hung up in shore debris, all things bad will happen. "That's Fishin." Work the chugger out to about 20 ft. from shore and then recast. Work it very, very slow, with a pop-pause method. When they come up and eat it, don't jerk or set the hook, just wind them in, they are on it, and all over the bait.

10AM Change to a shaky head if the topwater bite has stopped. Use a Watermellon Candy Cenipede, or 4 inch worm of the same color. Throw it in the same place as the topwater and work it very slowly in a hopping dragging motion back to the boat. Kept my boat most of the day in about 18 to 22 ft.

3Rd. Bait same locations, Fluke, White, Silver, Black, Does not matter, same locations. Throw it to the bank and jerk it and let it set. Work it very slowly back to the boat.

Had 15 fish day before yesterday in the cove directly across the lake from point 10. It is loaded with fish. Gravel and chunk rock mix. They were chasing like crazy over there.

4th. Option, if you cannot get bit around Aunts Creek like this, either play golf, or hire someone, they are eating the paint off of this junk.

Good Luck, and Best Wishes

I'm not saying anything that you regulars don't already know, but listen to what the man is saying. The guides on this lake are the best and the only ones that know more about this lake are the bass themselves. When Bill says slow - go slower. Bill took my brother in law and myself out last month and Bill pointed out that my partner was making 4 casts for every 1 of mine. Listen and learn. Look for similar locations all over the lake, because they're there, not just Aunt's. Stay focused on his baits and locations and you will catch fish. The investment in hiring Bill or one of the guides is priceless, I promise. Support these fine gentlemen and you will learn more than you'll ever get from reading. I've fished with Bill the last few years and I will do the same for several years to come. Same goes for all the guides, top notch and they are always giving free advice on the forum. Hire one of them, it's the smartest investment you'll make this year.
