They were SCHOOLING ......!
me and my bud like we never been to Ketchn school ........:Rofl the wind howled yesterday all day long 20 mph plus most of the day and silly me picked it because that was my open window for a boat ride . Let me tell yawl it wasnt looking good at all , i thought we could hit some sheltered areas and do well ,but mother nature was determined to beat us down .I got there ahead of my bud a bit and tried to ketch a few and was getting a whooping from the wind right off . I went to the other end of the bridge where the water was less violent and was still getting ZERO bites :banghead
My first fish was a sand bass and all i was doing was trying to move the boat , pure accident for sure . Second bite was a thump and i got my 4 lb test broke . Third bite was yet another thump and up came a spotted bass . So when he got there he texted me , sure looks mighty ruffffff out there , i said yep and you best put on 2 pfd devices because its WILD ride out here today !
When i got to the dock to pick him up i said you best jump in when i get close because i cant hold her still in this . He jumped and we hit it , told him we best head to the other side of the lake and i aint managed not EVEN one crappie yet in 30 minutes !
He said tell me you are kidding and i said no sir and i cant seem to figure out why . Well we went back where there were some fish and managed a few crappie ,but it was mighty slow and i just couldnt hold the boat still very long at any spot under that bridge !
told him we best head to my cove and try the piles , at least we wont get a beating in there and i am sure we can ketch a few back in there .
Well let me say this , i dont think these here boys ever missed so many bites ! you could get bit but you couldnt seem to hook up , and to make matters worse we was losing jigs about as fast as we were ketchn crappie .
we got SCHOOLED bigtime and tried a few locations in another cove or 2 , managed to ketch 2 sand bass , 2 yellow bass ,one spotted bass , one i dont know bass and a few catfish .....probably around 40 or maybe a few more (mostly small) crappie and worked REAL hard to manage those numbers ....and i lost about every large fish i hooked due to my 4 lb test syndrome ...man did i leave some jigs in some lips yesterday ....so you see they were actually SCHOOLING .....US ....:banghead
hope you enjoy the read and the photos ....
and have a great day :ThumbsUp
