Thread: COMBO TROLLING 1/17/19 (VIDEO)

Jim and I fished Lake Oconee today for the first time since 12/3/18. We began this morning about 8:30 and fished until 3:30. The water was 51 degrees when we started and 53 degrees when we finished. We trolled 1 mph and long lined 1/16 oz jigs out the back of the boat and pushed 1/16 oz jigs approximately 20 inches below a 3/4 oz sinker out of the front of the boat. Dark colors worked the best as there was a good stain on the water. We caught fish on blk/blu/chart curly tail, blk/chart curly tail, Wildcat curly tail, white/chart Charlie Brewer Grubs and black/chart Bobby Garland shad. The fish were scattered in and near submerged timber and we caught them in water that ranged from 25-50 feet deep. We were fishing about 10 feet deep. We fished the south end of the lake. We even caught 3 good fish crossing the lake to move to another spot. We probably caught over 25 fish but kept 13 nice fish. We had 4 fish that were 14 inches. The fishing was slow for the most part but for this time of year I was pleased with the results. We counted 12 other boats in the area we were fishing. I hope you enjoy the video. We enjoyed making it!
