Drifting for Gills....tough day.

[Alphahawk]

Fished Dale Hollow with my son today...always a good thing. Was trying to catch Gills drifting along using a Midnight Blue ThunderHawk Dancer and a Bison colored Trout Magnet. For both of us a new way of fishing. It works but requires patience to stick with it....we are both used to casting for everything. The fish were all caught in about 15-18 feet of water. I would see them on the di and next thing you know we both would have hook ups. We only caught about 16 or so Gills and 4 Smallies...only took a pic of the 18 incher. The other Smallies were 11-13 inch fish. All fish caught on SOS 2# test line...a lot of fun. Didn't get a single pic of the Gills my son caught....he got the good ones. He was impressed with the girth on the Gills up there. Only fished about 5 hours. Saw a golden eagle pretty close up today....quite impressive. I am going to keep at it with this method when I fish up there this summer. They go deep in summer....and evidently stay deep all summer long. Just have to stick with it. Life is good!
