Chief Grey Bear Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I am still recovering, financially mostly, from my truck being stolen the other weekend. I had a chance to go east and do an overnighter with a fellow member last weekend but declined because I had just a couple of things left to be done to kinda get over this hump. I was however able to sneek in a little floating on Sunday with the help of my wonderful wife. So I did. I told her I would make it somewhat of a quicky, no laughing!, and be home kinda early. Don't know why but I did. I picked a 4 miler and hit the water about 9:15, after getting all of the shuttling done. After I got home, I wished I would have picked it apart a little more. I was only on the water about 5hrs. The rivers were in good shape last weekend and should be in even better shape this weekend. Now before this last bout of rain, I was killing them on top water. I mean an all day buffet! Big fish too! Some up close to 4lbs. Not so last weekend. They seemed to be sticking very tight to brush. I didn't catch a ton of fish, maybe in the high teens, but they were all quailty fish. And of that only one was a brownie. And he was right on a high mud bank with brush. I did catch a couple of pound, pound and half'ers on soft plastics but all other were cranks. And you really had to get them in the brush. I have a method that I use when brush fishing that is hard to put in words but there are a couple on here that have fished with me and I have shown them this technique and it will really improve your catch rates and it is a blast to do. I remember as a kid watching my dad do it and I thought he was crazy. But it worked every time. One thing I did wrong on this trip was I floated to fast. I am fixing to head out here again in a minute and that is my goal today. Slow down, work the brush find those fish I floated right past the other day. Here is some of my fish from that trip.

fishinwrench Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Wonder if that tree is still there, post flood?
Buzz Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 It ought to be a good day for it. Thanks for the report. If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
Chief Grey Bear Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Wonder if that tree is still there, post flood? That tree is still there Wrench. I saw it a few weeks ago when I floated through there.

fishinwrench Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Cool. Keep track of that bugger, his days are numbered. I'll be surprised if it holds through the next Spring. Chief Grey Bear 1

Terrierman Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I will. I thought this thread coming up again meant that tree was a goner.
