    Default Longline Trolling 11/27/20


    Well, for my Birthday today I switched things up. Instead of hunting this morning I decided it was time for me to check out Clark Hill Lake. I unloaded and hit the water around 7:30, idling around looking for ANYTHING. It was slim pickings but I dropped lines anyway. I knew better.....

    Anyway I moved. In the 2nd spot it didnt look much better. So I decided to make a run down-lake. Finally....seen a few fish on tyhe graph so I dropped lines. Wasnt long before I caught a keeper. Then the dinks showed up. It was slow, catching a fish her and there. Only problem was they were all short fish.

    At 11AM(ish) I had caught 22 fish with "2" keeper fish in the well and had kept two little stocky 8"ers for me to eat off the bone. So now my mission was to get 2 or 3 more to eat off the bone and I'd have us a fresh fish meal. Those two to fillet would more than feed my wife. Then I hit a stretch and the better sized fish showed up. And for @ 10-15 minutes it got interesting. Anyway, after a somewhat "flurry" (considering how slow it was all morning long) I called it a day and headed back to the ramp.

    I did get a few more short fish to scale (my favorites) and enough fish to call Dad and his wife to come enjoy the fish with us. Here's the mess I finished with today.

    Good catch gabowman. I decided to go to the hill today too and pull some jigs. Caught 25, kept 16. Had some good fish, but I threw back alot of small ones. Glad the long-line bite is turning on now. If that water will cool off another 5 degrees, it should make for some good fishing.
