All kidding aside I pretty much knew when the sun set Wednesday the water was going to ketch fire . And so it begins with our weekly dock visit over at Joe Poole lake.
Ez was there when we met up over there about 4 30 pm and was going on and on about you should have been there in the am . Said he flat wore em out sitting in a lawn chair in one spot ! So SK and I tried as suggested and only put the jig down about 8 foot or less no matter the water depth . Sure enough we proceeded to put the 20 or so in the basket Ez wanted and as it has happened before . Then they QUIT ! About an hour before last light they shut right off and all the fish we did basket up were lady fish .
Well being no stranger to this lake at this point and knowing weekly we have seen the same thing for a while ,we traveled off to short water . Sure enough as scripted there they were . Male fish all dressed to impress and the lady fish all plump as a pumpkin . I put on my lil fixed float about 18 inches deep and let me just say this about that ….K A B O O M
The fish were losing them lil fishy brain minds I tell ya , I set the hook every cast for over an hour. It really don't get much better I tell ya . And to make it better lots of real solid ones in the mix and even got my line broke twice .
Bass were there around this mess picking off crappie as well and early in the day I got in quite a tug a war on the surface with a big green monster . I prevailed though and put that 11 incher in the basket .
Sure was an episode on steroids I tell ya , Not sure how many fish hit the dock on my behalf ,but to be sure I actually got tired of ketchn em and that my friends rarely happens
stay tuned my friends ,the night bite force is strong in you
