LaCygne......fun day!!

[slabby joe]

Ron and I got to the lake early and headed to the outlet, Ron caught the first fish on his second cast and then proceeded to catch a fish on every cast for the next 20 casts! I was catching fish also but at times he was catching doubles....he was on fire with his secret " Florida" curly tail jigs. The fishing was so good that we stayed til 1 pm and decided to head out to the bridge but the starting battery.....DEAD.....I had replaced my trolling batteries in the fall but I should have replaced them all at the same time. Another boat with some real nice guys helped get me going again but no bridge fishing this time as we headed to the dock. Luckylivewell (Eric) and Weekend Warrior (Adam) were just putting in so I'm assuming they had a great day as well, Ron even gave Lucky some of his hot baits. Now most of the fish were 9-9.75 inchers with some dinks thrown in but the fish are healthy looking, we kept 42, the biggest was 13.25. I'll have to guess the total fish count was between 400-500 fish as the catching was non-stop for over 5 hours.....Yes I know all fisherman lie but this was one fantastic day, one of the best "catching" days I've had in a long time and the same for Ron too. The fish were stacked in there so thick any color worked but Rons curly tails seemed to work a little better especially at catching two at a time.

Sounds like a good day, despite the issues with the boat. Wish I were there instead of here behind my desk!

One question though. I've never been to LaCygne but looked plenty of time on Google Earth. What is the bridge you're talking about? I don't see any bridge on the satellite photos?

I would of had been hard for me to believe the day we had if I had not been there. The fish were stacked up the length of the wall, and 90+ percent of our cast produce a fish, I had 4 that I snagged accidently, using two jigs there were sixteen times I had doubles. Lots and lots of short fish, it was fun. I never had a day fishing like the one we were blessed with. Doug had boat troubles, but at least it is and easy fix.

Thought Ron only used minnows?

There is a bridge that runs east and west over the creek channel, the depth will change from 18ft. on the roadbed to 24 ft. on the edges and 34ft. in the channel. I'm not very adept at always finding the hot spots on the bridge but when you do it can be really good fishing.....electronics help alot,,,there are others on here that can better describe the location. Good luck.
