I had a chance to fish today & used a hunch from yesterdays fish dressing. All of the fish I cleaned yesterday had really dark intestines. I was w/ the family @ w/mart, & looked for something a little bit different. We've had a mayfly hatch here in these parts, so I got some helgrammits & mayflies from arky (panfish creatures). I started off real slow, just like previous recent days... short fish after short fish. I decided to put on a mayfly, and pulled up to a tree... wham!! caught 5 straight. 4 of those fish were real short, but I found a pattern. It was still a slow day, but I wound up with 6 keepers, broke off 2 bass, & 3 bream. The throwback ratio was about 4-1 too. Still a whole lot of short fish. Of the 6 keepers, 3 females. They still had eggs in them, but they were runny, and one of my bigger females didn't have a full belly. Just about every cypress tree I pulled up to had aphids on the back side of the wind on these trees. Every time I got close, those things swarmed me. I was sort of surprised that the mayfly on a jighead worked, but it did. If anyone thinks to look around at what's flying around, you may decide to match that hatch. You wouldn't think that a 3/4lb. crappie would be going after bugs, but they did. One of the bass that broke me off was over 3 lbs, & he smacked that mayfly hard. Something to think about.....
