Pacemaker Fishing Forum

First thing I noticed was the water was down nearly a foot from two weekends ago.

After trying some things including getting a perch for bait I went to the area where I caught the big BG last time.  There weren't many fish busting the surface, just enough to know they're there.  I was working a deep-diving crankbait around a dropoff.  But eventually after seeing plenty of fish on the depth finder on the flat area I decided to start throwing a black/blue jig with a rage tail craw.   I was slowly dragging it across the bottom with an occasional jerk.  Wasn't long before I had the only fish of the day.  I had it out of the water longer than I would have liked, but I was having trouble finding my tape measure. I did find my scale in the process though, been wondering what happend to it.  As I set it in the water it bit down on my thumb.  It swam away but then came back and splashed me!   I must've pissed it off. LOL

17"  but only 2lbs.






On my way back this family was on their way to the north end and trolling something.  As they passed by he hooked up with this 4.5lb LMB.
