Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I got out solo for a few hours.  On the water just before 8am.  Water was stained on MD shore and green on VA side.  Water temp started a little over 45 degrees.  After about 15 minutes in spot one I got bit on a tube.  Fought pretty good.



Then it slowed and I made a move.  Next fish hit the same tube while drifting.



The sun was out and it was warming.  The bite had slowed and I started drifting. I switched to a TRD and finally got a good fish on.  After a nice fight, I was able to land my first 20" smallie of the year.  I weighed it and was surprised it was only 3.79 pounds.





The water was warming and the bugs were starting to hatch.  Kept the TRD on for a bit and got this one.



Ate my sandwich and decided to try a hand tied little jig with a trailer.  After a couple casts, I got a good hit and had a nice fight on my hands.  Got this heavy one in the net.  It was a little shorter but weighed 1.70 kilos (wait, what?) or 3.747 pounds.  I somehow pressed the wrong button in my excitement.





The water temp was almost 50 degrees now.  The wind started to pick up and floating was difficult.  I decided to anchor in one last spot before heading in.  After a few casts with a tube, this hard fighter bit the tube.



I was off the water by 1pm.  Fun outing.
