Glad you were able to hatch enough keepers for supper. I am going to try succession tomorrow. Thanks for posting
Well, it has been since last spring that I fished the hill (yep...all summer long was on Russell and I wasnt telling) and was itching to get back there so today I struck out for the Hill. I was putting the boat in right at daylight (7AM) and made my way to the #1 spot shortly afterwards. Marked alot of fish and some bait but the fish just wasnt wanting my offerings. I think I caught 6 and had 1 or 2 in the livewell. Anyway, after awhile I went to spot #2 and trolled for quite awhile again with nothing to show for it. Went to spot #3 and same thing...some bait showing, lots of fish on the bottom, and not many bites. Well, I went to another spot and BAM! Fish on! And it stayed pretty active for awhile. I didnt find biting fish until 10AM and stayed in 'em until about 12:30 and decided to head home. Most all the fish I caught was in a 100 yard stretch and it seemed that if I got out of that stretch then I wasnt catching. Go figure...
Anyway, nothing big...maybe 3/4 lb at best. Kept 6 for me and the wife a fry tomorrow nite. Here's a few p[ics of today...
Not counted was around 15 WP and at the end of the day I ran into some 1-2 lb hybrids that made an ABSOLUTE MESS wrecking most of my setup. I finished the day boating 6 of those hybrids (which are alive and well for somebody else to have as much fun with 'em as I did.

Fish tremble at the sound of my name
Good job, Butch.....most of the time, that 100 yard stretch is what we are all looking for. We found it Sunday and ended up w/ 18 good fish and about 30 throwbacks (Georgia keepers) lol.....BTW, what was the water temp on the Hill? Enjoy your fresh fish for dinner, I had a fat mess for lunch on Monday.

Looks like a good catch Butch. Six in the pan is enough for a good meal and makes you want to go back for more.
