Night Fishing Dam Area Sept. 17 And 18

got my last two fishing trips in for a while. having rotator cuff surgery in a few hours. i fished by myself tuesday night. ended up with 12 keepers. had two brownies over 4 lb. and several in the three range. wednesday night mike sowders and chane garcia fished with me and we just flat clocked them. we caught at least 30 keepers. a lmb over 4 lb. and a brownie over 4 were the best ones. our best six would easily go 20. again, the best lure was a 3/8 NuJig with a 5/16 sinker on the line with a super chunk style trailer. the three best colors were green pumpkin blue, bluegill, and missouri craw.

earlier in the evening the bite we 25ft, and as it got later, there were some that moved up in the 10 to 15 ft. range. good roll offs with timber were definitely the best places.

well, i will not have any reports for a while as i will be in a sling for 6 weeks, and then will begin rehab. those that do not night fish are really missing some absoultely great fishing.

God bless and hope you recover quickly. I had a complete rebuild 6 years ago (12:30 to 7:30 tear). It gets better!!

Same here on the rebuild. Mine was 12 years ago and the shoulder is still good as new. Best advice I can offer is be vigilant about the rehab. Prayers for a safe and successful surgery.

+1on what Champ said......I had back surgery many years ago and was told by the surgeon that if I did what the therapist said I would never see him again......he was right!

thanks for the well wishes. doing fine so far without too much pain. mike called this morning to see how i was doing. he fished yesterday starting at noon. he did not do much until dark, and then it was the same as it was wednesday night, lights out. summer fishing on table rock is always going to be better at night.
