    Default Trip to the Hill 2/2/17


    Sinkermaker and I made a trip to Clark Hill today, putting in at the Dunn landing on Little River. After several previous trips battling the wind and the cold, today was a relief from the elements and the fish saw fit not to disturb our solitude.

    Even that was short lived when a feisty Hybrid hit Don's left most rod and took a hard right. We managed to get him in the boat, but not before he tangled all 6 of my lines and most if not all of Don's.
    Anyway it gave us something to do as it took 30 minutes to get lines back in the water. But we had a fat Hybrid in the well for our troubles.
    Much later in the morning I had a nice Striper hit my middle rod, but he was much better behaved and I managed to get him in with a minimum of tangles.

    Even later still, we finally had a nice crappie hit one of Don's jigs and he went to the live well also.
    Enough fish to make a meal or two and a nice day to be on the water. We quit at one and headed back to Lexington.
    Thanks for sharing your boat Don.
    PS Don had a set of the Millennium seats in his boat and they are really comfortable. One of the CDC members sells the seats. I think he is in Mississippi.

    Reading the Wylie reports I see that CK was successful using road runners. My one lone hit, the Striper, hit a road runner with a jig body that a friend of mine makes. He has hundreds of different styles, but the double paddle tail is the one he has a lot of success with on Murray. Here is the one that caught the Striper.
    I think it's cool ever if the fish didn't! What do they know?Name:  IMG_20170202_184811.jpg

    Thanks for posting Ray. I might add there were probably 20 to 25 boats in little river and nobody was doing any good. Some where pulling and some tight lining and none catching fish. We will try it again next week. Might add boat ran good after spending another couple hundred bucks because of sh-ty work. Water in fuel tank because fuel sending unit was installed wrong. Don
