mixermarkb Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hey guys- First a disclaimer- it was my first trip since we had our second son inDecember, and I had our 8 year old son with me, on our first big man trip with just me and him. Having said that, water temps were in the high 50's low 60's in a few pockets. Water color was very brown at Theodosia, so even though I was staying at TMR, I trailered over to Spring Creek Ramp on Tuesday and Buck Creek on Wednesday. Water color was much more to my liking, ranging from clear to a green tint. Tuesday I caught a short Smallie on a rock crawler, a keeper LMB on the same secondary point, then 3 very fat keeper spots on a Redfin in the back of a pocket. Trying to find something the boy could fish as the bushes were making life hard, I left the pockets and went looking for Smallies on flat pea gravel. They were either not there, or biting light enough that with the distractions of keeping an 8 year old contained that I couldn't feel them, so we called it a day and I went back to TMR and did some work on the electrical system on the boat, trying to fix the gremlin that kept turning off my graphs about every 30 minutes. Wednesday I caught a 4 pound LMB in a textbook jerkbait spot, last big bush in the back of a main lake pocket with live water running in. The boy was over fishing about an hour and a half in, and I got the news that my 83 year old uncle who had been on hospice for a month passed, so we packed it up and headed home. In short, the backs of the pockets seemed to be the deal, if I had to bet is say a man could wear some fish out early with a fluke or floating worm. I couldn't find the Smallies on my regular stuff, either with a grub or Ned or offshore with a jerkbait. All signs point to it being time, but I couldn't make it happen yet. Tight lines, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixermarkb Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Lol, I'm sure it was at least $20 worth- he doesn't know the meaning of moderation. His mom and I are trying to teach him that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
