Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I got down there midday on Friday. Shortly after Steve, his friend Dave (movie producer, helped in the production of the Jackass movie) and I headed over to the nearest marina to gas up the boat.  On the way back we stopped along the shore where there is a really steep drop off to 24ft.  Nothing happening there though so went went a little further to a covered dock.  I was throwing a jig and a senko.  We would get spun around on the anchor and so when my end of the boat faced opposite the dock I switched to a Bomber A and tossed it to the shoreline grass that drops off into about 6ft.

That got me this, the only one any of us caught.



That evening I could see the fish were really active so I took the canoe out into the shallows and worked a patch of exposed grass and the stumps.  That was good for some bluegill and these bass with sores.








Friday night I put out a line with a perch on it to catch a catfish.  Saturday morning I had this bullhead on the line.


The carp were extremely active on Saturday morning.  Flopping all around the lily pads and up to the shore.  There were hundreds of them.  I was hoping to go out early Sunday morning to catch one but they were nowhere to be found.  Seemed like the bite shut off on Saturday.   I took the boat out solo on Sunday and tried a covered dock in deepwater, another nearby spot that looked promising where I marked some fish, and a drop off near an island.  Nothing.  I couldn't get anything until I got a perch and some bluegill in the late afternoon at a creek mouth.
