Neely Henry Report 4/4/14

Got out this afternoon for a couple of hours. Did nothing but shoot docks and pontoons. Water temps were 62-63 degrees. Fished in 6ft or less. First shot of day produced a nice, chunky, 13 incher. Probably jinxed myself...my dad always said it was bad luck to catch a fish on first cast...and it proved true. I ended up with around 12 fish...but only 4 keepers. Most came off pearl fin-s shad with a shot of spike it. Caught a few on black/chart tube...expecting things to keep getting better. Anyone else hitting the docks?

Hitting some docks this morning around daybreak, gonna see what happens.

usually wait for the water to come up on logan martin before i try

Fished there Thursday morning, similar conditions. Caught most fish in shallow water casting to bank. Also caught a few in deeper water (8 to 10ft) near shallows. They are definitely headed to bed.

Good report. At least it's better than some of my recent trips. I went 3 hours without a fish a couple of trips back. Had a couple on in that time, but pretty sure they were just bass. That always get you really wondering if you're going to get anything at all in the boat.

I am catching a few shooting docks with 1/24 jiffy jigs

Thanks for the report. I want to get back to Neely H somethin awful
