Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

Well, I finally had the best excuse to go fish under the lights last night... committed to take a friend who had been asking to go, badgering really. So we went.

Put in at old 86 off 165 in Jake's Cove and headed to the diving bluffs (only place I know to go) and dropped the light about 9 pm. We were south of the point about 300 yards, a place I had not tried before and not having a depth finder, was a bit lost. Tied to a stickup close to the cliff bank and went out a cople hundred yards and dropped my anchor. But I still wasn't comfortable with the depth of the water- too shallow- less than 40 feet I think. But we sat till 1 am with little shad gathering. So we went out to the point and anchored in much deeper water. We immediately had more shad but at 3 am we called it quits- not enough shad in the light to even net bait.

The lake was nice and so was the company. Breeze and the moon... and a few rude boater who wanted to play. I let them have it with my 1,000,000,000 lumis beam light and they left us alone.

Phil you should have stayed. We hadn't had any good shad until after 1 am this year. Heck we didn't catch much till after 3.
