Clark Hill

Decided to switch things up and instead of hunting I went fishing. Knocked the dust off the boat and rods yesterday and enjoyed a very nice warm, sunny, windless day on the water. Trolled around awhile with big motor looking not finding much but put out lines anyway. Only caught a half doz perch after 30 minutes of longlining. Time to move.

On the second stop I saw fish on the graph immediately. And it was non stop on the graph. I should have tried single pole jigging on the bottom but I'm just too hung up on long lining. Ha!





Trick was getting jigs down to them but I did alright. Fished there for awhile and made another move finding the same thing on the finder. Lines were deep and fish bit sparingly. Like before picking up one or two here and there.

Size wasnt the best. Wished I was catching fish the size tackleboat caught but it wasnt happening for me today. Anyway...finished the day with a respectable...



...45 crappie caught. I kept enough to feed me, Deb, Dad, and his wife one evening next week. I dont know when I'll get to go again but today was fun. Since retired you would think I'd have more time now but so far I've had 9 irons in the fire every day. I quit fishing at 1PM today leaving 'em biting. But there will be another day of catching in my future (if the Good Lord's willing). Here's the fish I brought home.
