Pacemaker Fishing Forum

After a little whirlwind of Thanksgiving prep, family visit and regular work stuff I need d a mental health day on the river and hopefully a few smallies in the kayak.  I was only going to have time for a single access outing so I was going to be sticking close to home. A fishing buddy from work texted me Thursday evening to see if I was fishing on Friday so he ended up joining me. He was already launched when I got there. So after a few minutes of unloading the kayak and gear we paddled upstream to the first winner hole. It's a pretty big one that I thought we could get a few fish out of. Turns out we got a few more and then some. In 30 minutes he had three fish in the kayak including this really nice. 17. In chunk. All were on a tube


After his three fish were in the kayak I got on the board with 2 smallies in the kayak in about 20 minutes.  They went 14-16" and all caught on this new plastic lure on a stand up jighead   I was letting it drift along and fish were picking it up, with all 3 hooked in top of mouth.


After about an hour and six fish fish total we paddled up a little farther but water wasn't right for this time of year so we turned around to head back.  We were almost back through the big hole we started in and I got my 3rd fish, a 17" that was more skinny than fat.



It was a great 3 hours on the river and much needed.
