Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Good luck.  I love that place, wish it was not so far.  You can have a good day while staying in sight of the ramp (the ramp at mid-lake).

Shamelessly stolen from one of Wayne P.'s posts about Briery:

"An example of how some approach fishing was yesterday at Briery Creek. I had loaded the boat on the trailer around 7PM and a guy came in with his wife to start fishing. He asked me how was the fishing, I said "kind of slow" but the thermocline is forming at about the 15' level and all the bass I caught were in the 7'-12' range. I had caught 51 bass and showed him what I had used. His reply, "I'm gonna be fishing deeper than that". He had a small jon boat with electric motor and no electronics.
As I was leaving, I saw him fishing next the the first trees out from the ramp. "


By "yesterday" I take it he meant 6/13/2011 as the above was posted today.

Got on the water about 5:30 along with several bass boats.  I started by throwing topwater but there really wasn't any surface activity to speak of.  So I switched to my skunk killer mini crankbait and within a few casts I hooked up with a really nice 9" blue gill.  Felt like it was even bigger.  Then I hooked into a 15" large mouth.  Seemed like more of snag since it was hooked underneath and behind the mouth.   Next was a dink bass on a senko.  Then 14" bass again on the mini crankbait, it was hooked the same way as the other one.  Either they're blind or they don't know where their mouth is.   Ended up with one more dink bass and a small blue gill.   Didn't notice the nearby boats catching anything.  They were in deeper water.  All mine were shallow.  I didn't put too much effort into the deeper water.  Pics to come.
