Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Bob and I met up at the ramp at 7:05a and we were throwing lines by 7:30a.

He wanted to stop by the tires but I knew there were at least 4 other boats (Wayne Young, Don Pirro, John Durbin and Bill Pearl) that were coming so we headed up above the footbridge and staked our area. Great move Capt.!!!

I got up on Bob 4-0 and was starting to talk smack. 





Then, I got a huge tangle mess and before I could look up, it was 10-5....Bob!







And he stayed hot while I caught one here and there. His two biggest were 18.25" and 18.75"!  Beasts!!



Bill was catching a bunch of catfish...as did Colton!





Colton got his 1st shad (of many)...



...and then proceeded to school us by catching 3 of them on a jerk bait of all things!

Back to our fishing....and a double (both 17+)!



Bob and I got 78 today, from 7:30a until a little before 1p. Only problem was that only 21 of those were mine. He had the HOT hand! But we caught only a 1/2 dozen or so during the last 2 hours (low tide). 95% of them came from one general area....

And....green/chartreuse was the ticket today!

Plus, Bob caught a Quillback (The quillback is a type of freshwater fish of the sucker family. It is deeper-bodied than most suckers, leading to a carplike appearance.).



After stowing the boat, we had a nice lunch at the new Brickmakers Cafe.
