12/5 Tucker

[Phil Lilley]

Put in at Tucker Hollow at noon today.  Headed to Bear to find some brush.  I found some - and fish on the piles - but my jigs weren't interesting to them.  I caught on 14 incher off one and another 12 incher off pole timber against a bluff.  Water 51 degrees.  Nice day!!

Ive been thinking about going there soon since its a little closer than Big Creek. Is there anywhere to buy minnows close?

[Phil Lilley]

I thought about that... should be in Lead Hill.  I couldn't see if the dock was open at TH.  Minnows would have put a lot more fish in the boat for sure.  But I wasn't out there to keep fish.

I had a guy pull up and offer me a limit of crappie.  He said he wanted to get rid of them so he could keep fishing.

Thanks,  Also Phil looking at your Garmin the voltage is reading 9.1.  Mine was reading between 9 and 10.5 with my boats stock wiring. I ran some new 10 gauge wire and am getting 12.1 now and it made my livescope much clearer than before.

That guy needs to read the rule book.  He isn’t supposed to give fish away until he is done fishing.

I don’t know how it is still going with voltage that low.  When I had Lowrance they shut down at 11 volts.  My Birds start giving me alarms at anything below 12 volts.

Do any of you guys use aqua Vu or similar cameras? I'm thinking about replacing my old scout 2.

I can tell you for sure there won't be a shortage of big bluegill for many years to come based on what's swimming around right now.

Ive never used a camera,it would be neat though. The last few times i have been i have caught some giant bluegill mixed in with the crappie. Next time ill probably keep some of them. they are pretty thick

I paid $600 for an Aqua view.  I never got any good out of it at all.  I gave it to my son-in-law so he can look for stuff they drop at their boat dock.
