Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Finally fished this area for the first time this year.  I wanted to get some more sleep rather than get up early and go the the Fletcher's area.  So I decided to head over to Kepheart and got launched by 8:45.  First I caught some sunfish and really small smallies on a mini firetiger crankbait.  Then I just missed a largemouth.  I threw to the same area with a senko and got this yellow-bellied one.



I had some company.


Then I had some less friendly company.  A Canada goose thought it would be a good idea to attack me.  I've got rods and I know how to use them.  Then I went on the offensive and chased it up the creek some. 

Once I got to the river I tried just upstream a bit with a new black/blue rage tail craw.  I was dragging it along the bottom when I hooked up with a good one.  I was using my setup with 30lb braid+20lb fluoro leader so I wasn't going to hesitate in muscling it in and I thought I had it stuck good.  But it came flying about three feet out of the water and got off.    It must've been a 4lb-er largemouth. 


I fished all the way down to Lansdowne only getting one smallie on a senko.  Then on the way back, in the area across from the creek and just up the the creek I got two more smallies.  Both went for the lime Bomber A I got on clearance at Walmart.



The second one I didn't realize I had until it got tangled on my other line with it started moving.
