Massive Shell Cracker Bed!

[Alphahawk]

So far this year has been off the charts good for me for fishing…and everything else really. The spinal surgery I had back in November allowed me to hit the water more often….not to mention being able to trout fish more in 2021 than I have over the last 5 years…if not more. Today I had the best fishing day I have ever experienced with panfish. I found a massive bed of shell cracker….the overwhelming majority 10 inches or better with some 11 inch fish in the mix. When I pulled off the bed I had boated 93 shell cracker! It only took a little less than 4 hours to do it. I stayed spot locked in the same place the whole time. Not another boat in sight. These fish were out in the middle of a big bay….not in a pocket or next to the bank. I learned to look out in open water years ago with the si unit when I found a big bed of bluegill in open water at Laurel Hill. Once again I used the Abu Garcia Diplomat Extreme 6’ 2” UL Area Trout Rod strung up with 1.8# test polyester line. The lure of the day…is there anything else….LOL….a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a 1.5 gram jig head with a #8 hook. Life is most assuredly good!
