Holiday Island Report 3/22/14

[Sore Thumbs]

Put in at Holiday Island around 7:15. Went right into Longwood Creek. Second cast got a small large mouth. Had 4 caught within next 10 casts. Went toward back and didn't get a bite. Went back to the mouth of Longwood and the wind was pushing right into the mouth. Caught 6 more on one spot. Decided to leave and head toward Eagle Rock. Only place I was getting bites was on outside edges on the north sides of cuts on the river channel. Ended with 18 fish. My best 5 would have been right around 12lbs.

Almost all the fish were caught on a series 3 Strike King in brown craw color. Great new bait. Dives to 10ft and is same size and sound of old wiggle warts. 2 fish were caught early on Megabass 110 in Elagy Bone. Got off water aroun 4:00pm. Had a great day of fishing and got ice cream in Garfield on the way home.

Kentucky just shy of 18inches. Weighed 3.3lbs. Had a LM right around same size.

Temp was 49.6 In Longwood creek. 45-48 in the river. Did see some deer swimming across John's cove. Pretty cool stuff.

Sounds like a great day, bud. Ice cream might have been the best part! That's a great K.

How did Everett go Champ?

[Sore Thumbs]

I've been doing Atkins for about a month. No sugars or breads. That Ice Cream was better than sex. Lol

It's not a big secret but that new Deep series 3 is one of best White River Lake cranks. Good report.

Nice report thumbs. I was tearing them up in a 5xd in that color. I've looked everywhere online and cannot find anymore. I think they stopped making it.
