Quillback Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 Me too because it was thinking of trying that area late Sat. afternoon. If you go, I'd like to hear what you see as far as water conditions.

jeb Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Just got home from spending the summer fishing Wisc. Lake is sure up compared to most summers. Wife had been telling me about the huge rains down here, even got almost 5" of it in the gauge just a few days ago here in the PC area. Amazing numbers for this area in the summer!

J-Doc Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Sorry for the late report but...................................................there's nothing to report. I went out for a little while and trolled the Rocky Branch area. Water is very stained and the South East wind was pretty strong late Saturday afternoon. I say strong........anything ove 10-15mph is a bit more than I like but I'm a fair-weather guy! lol So I snagged every piece of trash drug up by the influxed current and water rise. I told someone that I got hung up on more than Roy D Mercer. I had both lines hung at the same time and had to go back to get the baits (I don't pull till they break as my trolling box is not as deep as F&F's....LOL! Fighint two rods and a trolling motor in the wind was no fun. Oh.........and my motor saga continues. After spending the last 2hrs reading my repair manual, I think I have it down and can finally fix what's been plauging me since March. I've had a pre-existing issue that decided to show up again Saturday which told me it was electrical and not solely a carb issue. These old OMC's are a great motor but can be as contankerous as old man at a bingo game. I'm hoping to get my remaining motor issues resolved and get back to fishing. Nothing major....just has a hard time idling after it's warmed up. So between being distracted by the motor, hanging up about 10 times and not a single bite even after I jigged a spoon and a bucktail jig over a MASSIVE school of bait and deep fish without a bite..........I called it a day.

J-Doc Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Here is a nice shot of the sun going down though while I was trolling. ANY day on the water is still better than nothing at all....

Stump bumper Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 That is just the right amount of chop on the water, great pic.
