    Default Seems like everything changes


    Every time I go. A few weeks back it was Crappie day. Same area, same baits, and fish after fish, some on every cast. 2 or 3 weeks later I couldn’t hardly find a crappie, but loaded up on the banner Warmouth with a couple comfortably over a pound. On both of these trips other species were taken, but not many. Today was bluegill day, CNBG to be exact. Caught several that were 7 to 8” and the ones in the pic and two more pushed over the 9” mark, good fish for the area. All 5 came from a 100’ stretch of shoreline and every one was within 2’ of the bank. The fight was great, really gave me what for. All were also extra thick and would have made a dandy sammich with the fillet from one side. The wind picked up about ten, and the boat traffic wasn’t far behind so off I went looking for whatever had changed in the past weeks on the river. The places I checked were already worked over and produced a couple of small fish. I lean toward no wake zones but apparently those signs are merely suggestions and many pay no attention to them. Frustrated, I headed for the ramp. All got the CPR today and I look forward to this stupid cold I have to be in my rear view mirror before I go next time. Hope y’all get a few and til I see you next time........

    That’s one of the prettiest fish I’ve seen.

    Forgot to ask, what did you use for bait? I am assuming you used the UL tackle with the 2lb line.

    Yes Stan, itty bitty stuff from Bobby Garland, both swimmers and slab slayers. Chartreuse was the ticket as no takers on the monkey milk. Used a 1/64 ball head with some 210 tying thread on the shank of the hook instead of a barbed collar. Worked very well.
