Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Got out solo for an early morning trip.  Water got a little bump after last evening's rain, but not much.  Water was much warmer and more stained than Tuesday.  Water temperature was around 77 degrees.

I made a run for spot 1. 



There was some surface activity, but they did not hit the whopper plopper.  I tossed a Z-man trick shotz on a sled head (like fluke basically) and hooked a 13 incher.



They were actively feeding near some submerged rocks.  I just kept at them and caught a few more.



This was the biggest one that I think bit a sub-wart.



I ended up with 7 in that area before that bite died off.

After that I moved around and tried different lures.  Water was more stained upriver and the bite was tough. 

I Found another crankbait like the one I gave Jimmy in one of my crankbait boxes.  I did a little touch up on it and it did catch a fish.  It was not big though.



After a few casts, I noticed it was not swimming right.  Then I noticed this.



That was just from fishing and ticking rocks.  I will have to replace the bill.  I did see a group of about 5 deer walking alonng a shoreline.  They are hard to spot in the picture.



I picked off a couple more small fish, including this one that smashed this small Big-O crank.



I ended up with 10 smallies on various lures and lost a couple.  It got hot after 10am and I got off the water just before 11am.  The early bite was the ticket and it should only get better.
