    Default Fall day well spent


    Rose early and had a 2 hour drive ahead of us. Took the wife out for a day on the lake. First half of the day was cool, cloudy, drizzling and tight lipped fish. We fished dozens of spots that I know held fish but only netted 4 crappie a couple bluegill and some yellow bass. We ate lunch on the water and we discussed calling it a day. We were close to a spot i noted on the way in and decided to try it and if nothing happened we would head home. I had tried nearly every color through out the morning and Shelby said try blue and white, so I did and that was the ticket. Caught most of these under a dock, actually in one spot under a dock. The target area was about the size of a milk crate I had to hit near the back of the dock. If it didn't land in that zone no bite. Anyway we took home 20, and thru several back along with several yellow bass. Blue Pearl Joker got it done shooting docks today and spent quality time with the wife.

    Nice fish!

    I have had that same scenario before. The fish would only bite if you put the bait in a specific, small area. Not to mention, the exact right bait presentation. I sometimes wonder, when fishing a lake where they seemingly aren't biting.... if I can only find that one small spot where they are biting with the exactly right bait ...one cast "right over there".

    Nice pics.
