Hadnt fished in soooooo long I decided today was forecasted as a GREAT day to fish so I hitched up last night and made the trip today. The morning began around 55* and fairly calm. The wind picked up in a couple hours. You could fish in it
...
Hit the water at first light and was casting out lines shortly afterwards. Only had a few lines out longlining before rods were bouncing. Was a good morning of fishing with limited boats for a Saturday. I met several boats headed to Lake Russell
...
Decided to make a quick trip this morning just to see what's happening on the lake. The weather was nice being low 60's and no wind to speak of. When the sun came up it started warming up, but slowly which was nice. Water temp began at 76.7*
...
Got to the ramp and unloaded at 6 AM sharp. Didnt want to loose any daylight knowing it would get hot today. Got lines in the water and was trolling before 6:30AM. Water was slick as glass and the only boat I saw all morning was one bass boat
...
Lines in the water at 7:30AM fishing in the back of a creek in water @ 10' deep (some deeper, some shallower...depending on how shallow you wanted to get.) Stayed in there for 2 hours and had caught @ 30 fish and only had 3 fish in the live

Hit the lake in a new spot that I havent fished this year early Wednesday morning and fought the cold (mid 30's) idling out on the lake to where I wanted to begin at. I began longlining in water 25' deep pulling 8' deep. I only picked up a

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

Yesterday morning I was really hoping to use my Helix 9 to find bream beds to fish. I spent a couple hours riding along the edges but only say what looked like one small bed about 5 or 6 holes together. Anyway....enough of that. I wanted to

Well, for my Birthday today I switched things up. Instead of hunting this morning I decided it was time for me to check out Clark Hill Lake. I unloaded and hit the water around 7:30, idling around looking for ANYTHING. It was slim pickings

Being as today was my first of 3 days off I wanted to fish again this afternoon after yesterday's catch. So....I got there an hour earlier than yesterday
(@ 4:15PM)
and during that hour I caught 1 small catfish on a jig. THAT WAS IT!!

Fished another weekend but the heat got the best of me. Aint it funny (sorta) how something that used to be fun enough to keep me on the water ALL DAY long now has me running for cover when the temps gets into the 80's and climbing!! A lot
...
...heres the skinny on my weekend of fishing.
Saturday I hit the lake @ 7AM and fished until 11AM. I caught a total of 70 crappie but in the last hour of fishing I only caught 5 with only a couple big enough to keep. Total I kept was

Since today was my only day off work this weekend I wasnt going to let a bunch pf pleasure boaters keep me off the water so I was unloading at 6AM this morning. Wasnt long before I had lines out and was catching fish. Like planned, I stayed

Put the boat in the water at daylight and found it to be just a perfect morning for fishing. Little to no winds, the sun beginning to peak out at daylight...
...then disappearing for the remainder of the morning.
...
...and Man! Did it get hot! Whew! Anyway, here's the story...
Put in right after daylight and motored to destination and got lines out. First fish came soon and was a solid keeper. It started kinda slow but was somewhat steady.
...
The Lord musta been with me because from all the windy days we've been having I picked the PERFECT day to be on the water. Started out very calm and stayed that way atleast as long as I fished...
