• My first trip in a while

    Sunday I went fishing at the Bell City Ditch. I ended up putting a dozen in the live well. I threw back 8 small ones. I tight lined chartreuse feather jigs. I found the fish just off the bottom in 8 fow. The fish were spread out in the larger clumps of grass. Only found fish on one of my old brush piles. It was windy and hard to keep the boat in position. I used my Sportbrella it sure was nice to be in the shade with a good breeze blowing. I even had a Mary Poppins moment. I forgot to tighten the tension screw on my holder and it lifted off and I had to chase it town. I didn't get a box picture because I gave the fish to a family fishing off the bank. They sure were happy since they only had a few small bream.

      Good report, looks like the sportbrella could double as a life boat.

      Wow thanks for putting my post on the Home page. If any of you guys do not have a Sportbrella or something similar get you one. It makes fishing with a heat index above 100 degrees bearable.
