Pacemaker Fishing Forum

First time, exploratory visit for me. Water pretty low so decided to hike to the mouth. Along the way I spotted some small bass, a school of 4 or 5 on the prowl and one quality looking fish of about 12" holding above some rocks. The bank is way too steep so kept on truckin'.

Didn't know what to expect and the area is more lake-like than a rocky river area that I wanted. Slow flow, lots of weeds and could only wade out so far. Brought along the fly rod with which, I'm pretty much a novice. Tried a few floating patterns that attracted some sunfish. Not what I'm after. Switched to a popper and did get several real good strikes that, unfortunately, did not come tight. Ah well, that's fishing. Beautiful evening on the water nevertheless.

Next time I will fish this area differently. Spinning tackle with crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, etc. Oh, and definitely a great kayak spot!
