Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Got out early to an overcast day.  The waters were heavy with hydrilla and it choked up the primary waters leaving small gaps in the channel where I was able to paddle in.

There were what looked to be gizzard shad jumping everywhere around me as I worked through the water and there was good activity.  I had a lot of chases, but no bites on the frogs.  Made me realize after too long that I needed to match the bait fish everyone was feeding on.  Literally on my first cast of a similar bait (whiter color) I get a fished hooked and lost it immediately.  The day was kind of like that even getting a bird caught on the line.  The seagulls were crazy feeding and annoying, but a decent bass made up for the day and life was good again!
