Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I got out before sunrise.



Got on water at first light and headed near the island.  About 3rd cast with a Whopper Plopper, I got smashed and after a nice fight, I landed this 19" smallie.





I decided to float inside the island and it was a little while before I got bit again.  A 15"er blasted the Whopper Plopper.  I leaned back and reeled and it was hooked on it's side.  I netted it and it was going crazy, because it never fought.



It was not yet 6:00am.  I thought the day was going to be epic.  Fish were feeding around, but I did not get another bite.  I decided to run up and try the MD shore. 

There were some fish feeding on the little minnows and Carp jumping, but I could not get another bite.  I ran up further after the sun got up, but that was a waste of time.  I may have gotten one bite dragging bottom.  Dark clouds were moving in, so I ran back toward the ramp.  Luckily, the rain petered out.  I finally got one 12"er to hit the little swim bait before calling it quits.  My TM battery was already getting low and bite was not on.

I got off the water by 11:00am.  Saw Ospreys, Eagles, Deer, lots of Heron and Egrets and some feeding Cormorants.  Nice morning.
