abkeenan Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Fished this weekend the areas in the title. Fishing was somewhat slow with fish scattered, one in this bush, one in that bush for the most part with no real quality. Most all sub-legal dinks. All fish were caught in 5-10 feet of water and most were on a War Eagle in spot remover or V209 Wiggle Wart. A couple of fish were had on the jig but that was a tough bite for whatever reason. Threw the miracle bait for a little but just couldn't keep the sunfish and especially the goggle eye off of it and put it away on Sunday so as to not be annoyed. Should be a good goggle eye brood coming in because they were all the same size at about 3" and were fiercely abundant. Water temps in Long Creek were 80.2ish and temps in the big water around the dam were 78.5ish. Weather was great even if the fishing was not. If you have little ones and want to get them fishing now is a good time to get out and have a Ned tied on. I had a bite every single cast with it....even though they were mostly panfish kids don't care as long as something is pecking their line. Lots of gar activity on the surface as well as some bass. Topwater bite surely is around the corner the upcoming weeks. A couple pics of the dumb ones: Best fish of trip. 18 3/4" 3lb Jaw who snapped the line as he made his way into the net: kdc, merc1997 Bo, Mitch f and 3 others 6
Mitch f Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Nice fish! What size line were you using? "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
abkeenan Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 Will also add that there was quite a bit of color in the dam area. More than I am used to anyways. A greenish stain and down in Long Creek a touch more stain with some brown mixed in. Around point 2 I dropped the Screamin' Eagle over the side to get a gauge on visibility and the gold/silver willow blades were gone at around 6-7 feet.
Champ188 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Nice report. Gotta get lots better real soon.
