Fishing Report Cape Fair 11-27-16

[Hammer time]

Short outing, put in at 12:30 temp at ramp 58.3 Motored down to Thompson creek area and started on wind blown channels and swings with 6xd, rc, fat free shad and magnum wart not a sniff. Water temp 60.6 Tried 5/16 finesse jig on same type banks still not a sniff. Seamed like I was fishing dead water.

Changed to 3/4oz fb jig on points and long run outs, still not a bite.

Went to Piney creek and stated burning a 1/2oz war eagle screaming eagle in mouse through tops of cedars in 8-16fow and bam! End up with 9, 2 blacks 6 spots and 1 mean mouth. One nice black and a keeper spot. Don't know if decision to burn blade or if Piney saved the day but either way I'll take it.

Tight lines and CPR

Way to stick with it Hammer. It's always nice when you figure a little something out to save the day.

Nice fish hammer, love burning that blade like that and having them attack it. Way to go!!

just got to keep looking and trying different things until you find something that works and you did.  right now, you have to go find them everyday.

Bo, you're so right, with the fish so scattered you just can't go to what and where you think they should be. You have to cover water and try different approaches to locate and intice them into biting!

Very nice!  It is funny how these fish are acting, a guy can fish a lot of good looking stuff that should be holding fish and hardly get a bite, but once you find them they bite like they are starving to death.
