Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I went out around 2PM with 3 rods.

One was set up with a Carolina rig w/ a Zoom lizard at the end

One was set up w/ my typical wacky rig

One was set up with a fat tube

Nothing at all on the Carolina rid....as a matter of fact, nothing at all on any of them. But I was watching Patrick across the way and he was catching a few. He was schooling me!

So...I went in and got the 4wt fly rod as I had seen quite a few blue gill roaming the shallows. That was the ticket! I caught 3-4 nice, feisty blue gill and 3 bass. The biggest was about 12" and the smallest was about 4". Now I had my confidence back!

I then threw the tube way into the deep water which is something I rarely do. Immediately I hooked up with one punk and caught another one a few minutes later. It was neat because I was not picking up any grass until I was 12-15 feet from shore. of course, you guys already know that.
