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.
