Took a Yankee and a Californian fishing..
These guys were not fishermen. I went over a lot of stuff the day before we went out in the boat (dry run). Had a hard time convincing them to leave their bobbers at home. Neither of them had ever did any vertical fishing, so I gave some lessons. They caught on and by days end, they were doing just fine. Caught a lot of dinks and a few slabs. I stayed busy tying lines.
I also gave them some pointers on the sonar and gps. They were clueless at first, but by days end they could navigate and tell arches, bait fish, and brush piles on the screen.
I did not have a sonar up front. I was using the Garmin 276C only. I did pretty good considering everything.
At days end we filleted the catch and had a California dish called Fish Taco. It was gooooood. Gonna try it out again.
Fish found in 18-25 foot water main channel drops Big Sandy, Ky Lake. The bite was light too. Missed a lot of fish, but the fellows tried hard.
We had a large time.
