Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Got out early with my blue/black P&J and to my favorite rock pile.  First cast......hung on the rocks and break off .  Second cast....ditto .  Not a good start.  Third cast yields a sub-2 pounder.  Fourth cast......repeat of casts #1 and #2 .  I was thinking that Dicks would not open until 9 am and I only had 2 jigs left.  Stay on the rock pile or move to safer water?  I stayed on the rocks.  Fifth cast and this 4.8 pounder slams it.

Catch a few more sub-2s..............then a very, very faint tap and it does not move........set the hook.........5.25 pounder.

A few more sub-2s and I move on to another lake.  A skinny 3.2 pounder.

A few more dinks and move to lake #3.........only one bite.........3.3 pounder.

Best 4 fish went 16.55 pounds

Might try later this afternoon after the rains to get that 5th keeper and shoot for 20 lb total?
