CUonthelake dock shooting pro. 92319
Candi is so busy that I count it a privilege just to fish with her from time to time. Dock shooting for crappie is her favorite way to fish so I told her that today, only docks. That made her happy. She put on a clinic this morning and took her mentor to school. Lolol.
We started off around 7:30 fishing main river deep docks and it was a wasted boat ride and 35 minute of fishing time. I suppose that is good though, because we found out where they “ain’t “.
So I took her to a dock that I knew had fish on it and after the 15 minute boat ride to get there, we started fishing panfish assassins. Candi with a 1/24 oz jig head and me with a 1/32 oz jig head. By this time it is 8:15 or so. She fishing crystal Shad and me with a less productive color. She was catching so many and I was just getting good dock shooting practice that I finally relented and put on a crystal Shad panfish Assassin. This is what the fish wanted.
After that, she was just outfishing me 3 to 2. Lolol. Lots of 9-10” fish under this dock, but we did managed to put 14 keepers in the box and released another 1/2 dozen. Then at 9:25, the fish almost quit biting except for 3 or 4 shorts. I think it is interesting to note that my solunar table gave the feeding period range from 7:21 until 9:30-10ish. Before they stopped feeding, it was a fish on every cast. I love it when it is like this. We quit fishing at 9:52 and put boat on the trailer.
Lake level almost one foot below summer and was 681.33 with current flow of 23,300 cfs and surface temp at start of 78.7 degrees. Shout out to Curtis Hobbs for great Litewire hooks and Slab Sauce for scent attraction.
