Went out with my ol' Buddy Pat yesterday...the COE was dumping water like they were expecting the 40 day and night floods.
Got there at 4pm and it was a serious struggle...very few little bites and no hookups! Until the Sun went behind the clouds for a few minutes, then things turned on. When the sun came back out, NOTHING!
The water was full of sediment and dark, we hit every bright color and dark color....Nothing!
We switched locations, nothing!
I told Pat the way they bit when the sun went in, that I thought at dusk they would turn on...so we stayed until dark! when the sun went behind the trees the outside of the Marina turned on...we were fishing the Black with Blue flake and almost every single cast we both caught nice fish from 11 to 14 inches.
After fishing for 5 hours with almost nothing to speak of, we both limited in alittle over a half hour!
Patterns are messed up....the Dogwoods are flowered, the shad nor WB have spawned, and the Crappie won't bite while the sun is out??? This is why fishing is still fun!
