Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I was supposed to fish with Jimmy today but we bagged that due to low water.  I got out solo and was at my spot at 5:09am



I started with a popper but got no bites.  I switched to a tiny whopper plopper.



That got a swipe on the first cast, so I stuck with that.  After a couple misses, I got my first fish about 5:20am.  It was a plump 15"er that would not sit still for measurement picture.



A couple minutes later, I was reeling the plopper through some swirling fish.  One grabbed it and missed.  I did not pull and a bigger fish immediately took the lure (pretty much stole it from the first fish).  It pulled drag a few times before I got it to shore.  I was able to measure this one.



It was now 5:36am. 



There were still a couple active fish, but nothing hit the plopper or a small ned style bait I tried.  Other than a couple carp going crazy, the activity pretty much died by 6:15am.  I was headed home by 6:30am.
