I was out today and had only one white trolling and it came out of 120 feet. Save a few small spots on a ned rig to kill the boredom it was a dead day. I don't know what happened to the shad, small balls around but seems most moved out in the main channel and went deep.

Someone in the river or up by the dam probably had a totally different day.

Well that was informative.

 

I went out with Yakfm Sat. morning.  Was windier than I wanted so topwater bite was not really happening.  Caught some, got greedy and moved.  The new spot was too crowded and I kid you not.............2 goobers on jet skis idled out from a dock and ran right through the middle of two guide boats and a pontoon.  I was laughing and actually captured a picture of the event because it could not have happened to a more fitting person as I do not like that particular guide who thinks he owns the entire lake and all the fish in it.

So we went back to our starting spot and caught fish again.  Wind had died down a little and that helped the bite.

Then suddenly when good marks show up on the graph, they disappeared as fast as they appeared.  I sidescanned the area and tried trolling cranks and with large bait around, the gamefish had vanished.   Beaver Lake.......go figure.

Was good to get out for a change.  Only my 2nd trip in over 2 months.   I'm nearing 200hrs and need maintenance done on the boat and I'm trying to conserve the hours till December so I can scrape the cash together to get the service work done.  I just spent a lot of money on a project and the wife needs time to cool off.   Three years and 200hrs.  Not bad, could have been 300 but I slacked off a lot this year and last summer.  She is still running strong and starts within seconds.  Can't complain about my ProXS so far.
