Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Bob and I splashed the boat a little after 7a. John was already there.

We tried top water out front but all we (Bob) could muster was 3 hits.

Then we went up a short way and tried some more with no results so we took a long ride up to fish.



Glad to help the economy a bit!

It was painfully slow at 1st but Bob finally got the skunk off...



I think that one went 14.5" of fatness.

Today, what we caught fought as hard as ever. Man, what a blast!

Bob continued to catch a few more...





...and then!



A nice one that was just a hair over 19"! And over 3#!

Current and wood was the pattern.

There was a period (over an hour) where the current was slow and the fish catching was not existent!

Once we found better current, we caught some more.







I say "we" because I take all the credit for fish caught on my boat!

Finally, I got my skunk off!



This one ^ was 16.5"!



It was getting close to quitting time (actually, we were over a few minutes) and Bob hooks up again (#9 fish).

We get him in and we measure him at a hair under 19" and and over 3#.

Then, I slipped the fish back in the water and Bob advised me that I did not get a pick.

Thankfully, since it was a long battle as this stubborn fish did not want to go in the net, I did take a pick of it in the water.



Doesn't look like much but he was a bruiser.

We had a satisfying day of catching a few nice ones! Out of the 11 fish, only 2 were under 13".

Back on shore about 1:15p just as it was getting hot and muggier.
