    Default Sunday morning solo 11/08/20


    When you only have 2 hrs and 15 minutes to fish, and the wind is out of the north but not too strong and you have blue skies overhead and water beginning to turnover and fish in transition, then you might want to sit in one place and see what happens.

    The first hour, I fished with the colors that produced a couple of days ago and had very little success. I did finally catch a small yellow bass and then a channel slimer catfish and I thought that a fish movement was underfoot, or underway. The solunar table that I go by showed that it was time for the period to begin.

    A few more casts without hooking a crappie even though I could see fish on my graph finally prompted me to change colors. I tied on a Blue Ice Bass Assassin Pro Tiny 2” jig with a chartreuse head 3/32 oz, and that is what the fish wanted. I didn’t load the boat but I did catch 4 keepers and a nice yellow bass in about 30-40 minutes and then they shut down and I ran out of time. We are going to daughter and son in law for dinner this afternoon.

    The crappie were running the creek channel edge instead of getting up on the flat. It took me a while to finally figure out a technique that would put supper in the live well. Cast into the wind while boat sitting in 25-27 feet of water, letting the jig settle on a pendulum drop to a count of 20 and then a very slow roll with occasional pauses and a palsy twitch. All the fish that I caught were deep.
