Lake DeGray report (Yo-Yo)

[branthill]

Put our yo's out about 3 yesterday afternoon. Caught one pretty quick, then after that, nothing until dark. We had 7 when we quit, got up this morning and had 5 more.

Yo-Yo's? Heard the term before, but for crappie fishing? How do they work?!?

nice catch. How many yo-yo's did you have out and how deep. And what part of the lake were you fishin?

Hope to get a trip down there soon when they move up a bit.

They are spring loaded devices that hold a line and wind it up when triped. When a fish pulls it releases the sprimg and it reels up the fish. People tie them to limbs over the water ,bait the hook ,pull out proper amount of line , and set the trigger. Then it's all up to the fish. Some states have special regulations on use if they are allowed at all.:D

We were fishing between shouse ford and arlie moore.We had out about 40 yo's. We had them in shallow water and deep water, and was fishing anywhere from 6 inches to 3 or 4 foot deep
