The Saga Continues - Today’s Results

[Gill Fisher]

I fished today from about 8:30 until 11:30. I talked to my neighbor yesterday afternoon, and I am absolutely certain that I was fishing one of his favorite brush piles, right in front of a dock that he described in detail. The dock was there and the brush pile was there. The little fish symbols on my Garmin lit up like a Christmas tree. If half the fish symbols were actual fish, I was fishing in fish soup. They were everywhere from about 5 feet to about 20 feet. One thing that was consistent, however was a straight line of them at 11 feet and again at 15 feet. A perfectly straight line half way across the screen. I fished the Slab Tail Ugly Green which is my neighbor’s go-to lure. I also tried a Bobby Garland Blue Ice and a Mr Twister in Chartreuse and the Gray Ghost feather jig. I spent most of my time vertical fishing, just letting the lure sit there. I tried various depths from about 9 or 10 feet down to about 15 feet. The result was that I caught 1 largemouth about 1 1/2 lb trolling a plug, but he gave me a pretty good fight on ultralight gear.

My my wife and I have some errands to run this afternoon and I’m going to pick up a minnow bucket and aerator and some #4 red hooks if I can find them.

There is rain in in the forecast through the weekend, but we really need it.

Are you sure you don't have your sensitivity to high on your fish finder? That will cause your unit to give false readings....
I don't ever trust community holes.... Do some scanning to find other structure.... It's really not that hard just put the time in using your unit and trying different depths and baits.....

If you haven't already watched this you might aughta....

Usually those that I find in a strait line are white bass on my home lake.
Stacked on top of each other, crappie.

It would probably be a great learning experience if you could go with your neighbor.

I saw a lot of that, fish symbols stacked on top of each other, also. But then I also found some places nearby with nothing, no fish symbols at all and a plain, featureless bottom.

Pescador, he is out of town for a few days, celebrating his and his wife’s 50th wedding anniversary. My wife and I will celebrate the same occasion later this month. But sometime between as this celebrating, we are talking about meeting on the lake for that purpose.

Someone has suggested minnows and red hooks. I bought a minnow bucket and aerator today but the only red hooks I could find were baitholder hooks for worms and chunks. So I bought #4 Aberdeen gold hooks. Does the color of the hook make that much difference?

Those Aberdeen’s will work fine. Thin wire, your minnow should live longer, of course we’re hoping he gets eaten!

ever thought maybe our neighbor is not really telling you all his good spots
