Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Today was unplanned.  I woke up around 9:15am and saw it was cloudy with no rain until late afternoon.  I looked at the water level and decided to go for it.  I got on the water a little after 10:30am.  The shores were muddy, but the middle river was clear.  After trying to see if the island shore was worth fishing (it was muddy), I decided to run upriver.  There were a few boats, but nothing crazy.  I saw the water was low and clear, so I started with a Whopper Plopper.  After some experimentation, I found they did not want the 75, but did want the 90 size with the more subtle plop.  I caught 4 on the Ploppers and caught about 7 on a Rebel Humpy and a couple on a jig and small plastic.  Biggest was 16 inches and most were 11-14 inches. 




Fished until about 2:30pm and decided I had enough.  Total was 13 smallies.  Nice surprise day.
