jolicious Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Left Springdale around 4:00pm Friday afternoon. Crossed the dam around 5:30, so I dropped the Beast in at Moonshine for about an hour. I thought that we'd stumbled into a full fall frenzy after seeing all the surface activity, and getting this pretty lady (just love the markings on this girl) to the boat: She was right at 18" (forgive the double picture of the same fish - I don't get to catch too many smallies over 10" or so LOL!), so I figured around 3lbs maybe? So that was within the first hour of the weekend (Friday early evening); and that's when we should've called it a weekend, kept the boat on the trailer, and saved some gas
jolicious Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 Sorry - I keep hitting the wrong button.... To finish the report, we didn't catch anything keeper-size other than a couple 15-16" spots all day Saturday or Sunday. The smallie in the pic was on an Umbrella rig, one of our keeper spots was on an umbrella rig, and everything else (dinks as well as the other couple keepers) came on a drop shot in 15'-20' around trees in the backs of Cow Creek and that area to the right as you're pulling out of the moonshine ramp. On the umbrella rigs, we had the new Sizmic Gruibs from Kalin's (I am a BELIEVER in those on umbrella rig, drop shot, and wobble heads) in Rainbow Shimmer color. We throw the 3.0 size: On drop shot, I caught a bunch of dinks and the other keepers on a Roboworm Leech.

*T* Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 3.8" rainbow shimmer, white crystal & k-shad. Looking good. "Water is the driving force of all Nature." -Leonardo da Vinci
