Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Got out early again for a short outing.  3 ladies with inflatable paddle boards were there before me.  Wanted to see sunrise.  On the water by 5:11am.



Plan was to use topwater, Nessie and wakebait only.  That did not pan out as it started slow.  I finally got 2 little ones on the popper after a while.





Then, I moved upstream and decided to try the storm sub wart.  It got slammed!





I missed one more and then it slowed down.  I tied on a little ned I had in the boat and got one and missed a better one.



Then, when that got torn up, I put a flatwom on the jighead.



It got really slow and I was floating back.  I was throwing different stuff from time to time.  I threw the sub wart again and got hit.





A while later I got one little fish on the flatworm.  Then I tried the sub wart again I got slammed hard.  This one, like the first one felt like a catfish.  It was fighting hard, pulled drag and stayed down until the end.  I finally got it in the net.  It was a beauty and heavy.  I should have weighted it, but I wanted to get it back in the water.







I tried for a little while, but it was slow and I decided to head in.  I got off the water by 10:15am.  Caught 7 or 8 total.
