Buckets of big fishes...yep pics
Been at lake for a few days. Had plenty of rain and wind. :(..
Took time to break in my new engine. Boat handled the 3 foot Big Sandy waves easily. Had a few breaks in the wind and rain, so i conjured up a "mess o fish". I cast some with roadrunner with chartreuse curly tail. It worked in shallow waters (6-8ft). Caught most fishes on small minners and peaches and cream jig curly tails. The bite was soft except with the roadrunner. I like throwing the roadrunners.:)
Fish were scattered. Caught some in 12-15 ft, some 8-10 ft, and some 6-8 foot. Water temp varied with location on the lake...54 to 58 degrees. Fish were pretty much where I figured the to be though.:D
I had several males over 2 pounds. It was tough fishing on the Big Sandy River.
I gave some young fellers a bucket of fish. They were struggling.
I did all right for an old man. Had a large time.
