Dam area 11/4 fishing very little catching

[Jtram201]

Took my Dad fishing today first time I have been on any lake since back in the spring. Got in the water about 830. Ran up to point five and saw some smaller fish busting the top every once in a while.  Fished in little Indian and back to the dam.  

I tried a Sammy, blade, rattle trap, jig, Ned and about anything else you could think of.  I couldn't throw the blade of crankbait very many times in a row shoulder isn't strong enough to wind them back in very well. 

Dad caught a dink on a ned and I had several bites on a PBJ jig with Green Pumpkin zoom craw.  I was too slow and couldn't set the hook with authority.  To tell you how I tried everything, I even flipped a spoon in some boat docks slips and I don't like a spoon 

Spoke to some guys at the ramp that said they had caught a few all on a jig.  

Sorry wish I had a better report but that's all I have  

Thanks again last night for the chat room  at least it gave me some ideas to try  

Happy Fishing

Jim

Jim, last night you said that you wanted your dad to catch a fish. So it sounds like you had a successful day. Nice report thanks.

Shoulder surgery recuperation can be slow. Been there. Hang in there and keep working those muscles.

Guess you're right Mike. 

Champ it was neck surgery nerve root was stretch and right arm was dead for a while.  Coming back and working to get it there.  Thanks to the encouraging words.

I would say that the look on your dad's face would indicate it was a great day!
