Pacemaker Fishing Forum

George and I met up on Thursday for a kayak float on a stretch where there was actually some water in the river.  It's amazing how low the rivers are this year, as I've never seen them this low.  Weather was supposed to to be decent but a cold front was coming so we were hoping for some decent action. 

Between the two of us, we had a variety of lures to try.   Of course George struck first a little bit below the start with this chunky.smallie that hit the old reliable weightless senko.  Fish was holding right up under a ledge according to George.


We spent some time at a good looking winter area next with George landing a few more fish before that and me still battling a skunk.  I switched over to the senko but on a light slider jighead and got a few hits but it still wasn't the ticket.  After George face me a few of his hooks and I switched to weightless set up, I managed to get the skunk out of the kayak with a little guy. We hit the halfway spot with the weightless senko being the ticket.  I managed to land my biggest at 16.5"  that hit the senko right on top.


We each managed to catch a few more smallies by the end of the float, primarily on the weightless fluke. I did manage to land a few on a small Z man swimbait.  I did get a double whammy when a fish broke me off rubbing the line against ledge rock,, with a Lucky Craft herkbait in it's mouth. 🤬🤬🤬

It was a great time on the river and we both caught some fish.  Even the smaller ones were chunky from feeding up.
