Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Since the river was forecasted to rise 4' due to the rain, I opted to chase greenies.  This was my first time there this year.  I caught my first fish about 7:00am in a cove in a white albert grub on a jig with spinner. 

It had obviously spawned recently as the tail was all worn.
That was the only one for a while and I moved to try and find clearer water and a pattern.  After messing around with some different lures and testing some new buzzbaits, I hooked a nice fish on a small bomber crankbait.  I lost it near the boat due to a poor hookset.  A couple casts later, I had another.  This was a solid pattern that worked for the rest of the day,  Run the small crank near the weedline either parallel or out from pockets.  I caught about 9 and lost 2 (including the first and a big one with black spots that I missed with the net.  Here are a couple examples of the range.



Fish were strong, healthy and hungry!  I lost the first lure and continued to catch on another until I lost that one.  Bummer, cause they are out of production.

Good day.
