Anyone for skunk?

It's been a while since I experienced fishing like I had on both Thursday and Friday. Thursday was spent tight lining minnow tipped jigs in the shallows. The weather was warm, with a little breeze blowing. The first 45 minutes of the morning went biteless, I finally boated a 2.2 lb. slab. a few minutes later a 1.5 lb. male was caught. 10 minutes more, another 1.5 lb. male. I went to ease the boat around, another rod bowed, and a 2.5 lb. fish came aboard. I fished 3 more hours and never had another bite. So, on Friday I decided to head down to the lower end of the lake to try some long lining in some deeper water. I started fishing at 8:00 am, and trolled 3 different areas for a total of 3.5 hours and had one bite to show for my efforts. That fish felt small and came unbuttoned after a brief fight. I decided it just wasn't my week, loaded up the boat and headed home. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I wasn't up to trying to figure the fish out this time around. It goes to show, it doesn't matter who you are, or how much you think you know. Every once in a while the fish just win!

LOL very much my usual experience INK!! They can humble us anytime they so choose!!! But I know with you this won't last!!!!

I think last week the fish were as confused as we were...and this week is gonna add to the problem!

It happens to all of us from time to time. Just stay after 'em and youll figure it out pretty quick.

The crappie tend to show us they can get closed mouth for all of us at times. Congrats on the big slabs caught Thursday.

That is unfortunately the way it goes sometimes. The fish mak us feel like we have never caught a fish before in our live at times. I know you are like me though, when the fish win it just makes you want to go back even more. I know yall ill get back on them before long.

Just when you feel like you have the fish figured out they'll show you a thing or two! I've had similar experiences recently.

Thanks for the report. On the bright side, you caught some nice size fish on Thursday even if it wasn't the number of fish you were after!

This is so true. They showed me sat!

This front we have now isn't going to help things, I think it won't drive the fish to deep as that are ready to start laying.
