duckydoty Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I was able to spend some time on the water today. It was my first real effort at fishing Taney since coming back from Alaska. I got on the water about 9:30 this morning after taking my wife to work. The roads were not really bad at all except caution had to be used on over passes and bridges. They were holding a little bit of ice this morning. Started off with an 1/8th oz. white jig just above Short Creek and drifted down to Trout Hollow without a bite. Boated back up to above Short Creek and tied on a sculpin flavored 1/8th oz. jig. Started picking up quite a few fish on every drift. Sometimes 10-12 fish per drift. Tried changing things up with a 1/100 oz. jig under a float and only boated one fish on the drift. Changed back to the 1/8th oz jig and fished till 4 p.m. Never saw another boat on the water all day long. Had a great time out there. It was a little cold but not that bad with proper clothing. I did try out some new waterproof gloves today. The are supposed to be fish friendly and I was able to cast fairly easily with them on. Hands stayed warm and dry all day. A few of the fish I caught today Had to deal with a little ice in the eye today Not another soul to be seen A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at..

Flatbottom Boy Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Awesome Duane...and I agree with Billethead that hat has got to keep you busy beating off all the Taney girls.
duckydoty Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 I found that hat up in Alaska this summer and had to have it. It is my warm and fuzzy hat that keeps me in a warm and fuzzy feeling all day long no matter how cold it is outside. You back in the area Eric?

Flatbottom Boy Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I am Duane but just on leave. I will be back for good the first week of April. Maybe we can link up and chase some of those elusive crappies down there when I get back.

Flatbottom Boy Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I brought the family down there for a couple days. I didn't get the chance to fish but we did walk along the lake some. What is going on with all the vegetation growing down at the landing? I don't remember all those weeds last year and they appear to be covering most of the crappie cover we fished.
