Tough Day

[stuartsx5]

Put in at Larry Gale, thought it was going to be a good day after the days we had Monday and Tuesday. Today was a great day to fish but someone forgot to tell the fish. One of the few times I get to take my son fishing and we didn't fare too well. Three of us in the boat and we came home with 14 keepers. We didn't even catch many shorts. We tried all my hotspots to no avail. We threw everything we had in the boat and was able to pick a few up here and there then move on, mostly on the docks at the mouth of Windermere cove. The lake was very busy today with lots of boats moving around so I assume most people had a similar day. I caught most of mine on a blue and black jig with yellow tail and my brother and son caught most on a Tennessee bleeding shad. For the first time I can remember I was outfished in my own boat. My brother caught 6 and I only caught 5 with my son bringing in 3. Hope someone had a better day. We did get some pictures though.

Any day you can fish is a good day, especially with family!

a couple of buddies fished the same area this morning and almost had two limits in two hours, they stopped and ate lunch then the bite turned off and it took them the rest of the day to finish off there limits. Sounded like it was good early and good late but the in between stuff sucked!

Any day fishing is better than any day at work. Sounds like we got there at just the wrong time, about 10:30. It was nice but we were cooking in the sun so we took out around 4. The sun screen we had must of been too old to work. Met a lot of boats on the road to the ramp. Hope they did better on the evening bite. I will try again late next week. Work tends to get in the way of my fishing time.

I have been doing better with jigs topped with Crappie Nibbles. I hace not ledt my dock however.I pend most weekends safely in the yard working out garden

We used crappie nibbles. I think it made all the difference Monday and Tuesday but Friday was a bust. I bought mine at Bass Pro cause I needed some other stuff. I realized later I could get them $2 cheaper at WalMart. Think I will try again next week, the spawn has got to be close.
