Fishing Report 09-06-17...UPDATE

[crazy4fishin]

Went out around first light and cruzed up lake...didn't need to take my go fast pants as it was a little chilly!! But I had to wear normal pants.... that is how cold it felt.

Went up to around short creek and used the rig in the post "Fishing report made simple" There is probably a 200 yard stretch that you could really catch them! Caught everything from super dinks to a lot of nice meaty ones.....and they were all fighters so I am not sure that the DO is really affecting them....that is my uneducated opinion. 

Then I came in and bought one of the Wally Marshall rods that Phil has in the shop.....8' was the length that I settled on - They have a 9 footer rigged up but man that thing seemed long - (insert joke here)!!

This is the model - I rigged this up and man what a difference on the hook set using a float....just the snap of the wrist and it seemed that it is fish on!! I bet my fish catching improved 37.5% just using that rod! And they are crazy reasonable price wise. Oh and they are 

• Wally Marshall & Duane approved actions!! - Not sure what that means but it sounds 

UPDATE:

OK - So I head out for a nice evening of fishing...I run up to "the spot" and there sits THE Phil Lilley! I think he was there checking out my fishing claims!

So I turn off the big motor and roll up near him..."hey" I say and he tells me that the fishing has been tough....Boy o boy.....I am sure he is thinking false news on the fishing - so after a few words of encouragement I trolled past him and had to really buckle down and fish.....I am happy to report 10 FIB (fish in boat) and 7 misses all in the space of about an hour...whew!
