Late Summer Gills in Pa.

Fished a lake Friday for about 5 hours. After 4 hours had past and only having connected with 3 fish it was sorta disappointing. Tied on a small ponyhead jig with a 1 1/4" chartreuse sparkle curly tail and ran it close to shore just to check its action. With that lower spinner goin & that tail slowly fluttering it sure looked inviting. Didn't exactly knock em dead, but within the next 45 minutes had 3 nice ones slam that lure. Sure felt alot better ending the day like that. Thanks for lookin!Attachment 407712Attachment 407713Attachment 407714Attachment 407715Attachment 407716Attachment 407717

Nice catches, MR. With the drenching we got from Henri here in SE PA, the water will not be good here for a few days. Tough fishing for sure.

Good late summer catch.

After reading Spoonminnow's reply to a previous post of mine on adaptable plastics, I will add this. Having to walk into some of the lakes being fished, I try to take in small amounts of a variety of baits. Here is a pic of the adaptable plastics that I typically carry in. With a few different styles of jig heads, hooks, spinners & spoons there are quite a few presentations available to use. The cases are only 4"x7"x1" each so really everything shown there is just a handful.Attachment 407725

Some real nice fish. Fish down my way are runnin from the heat. Plus the river is up due to our rainy season and has flooded the woods opening the buffet doors. I like the rock platform for you to stand on. Makes for a good pic background.

They sure have some good looking colors on them

sometimes they just don't want to cooperate , but none the less you found some nice ones
congrats :highfive

I also like the background for pictures. Some nice ones there, with cool colors. Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

moonrunner, is that a DAM reel the first couple pictures? I used one of these old German made reels long long time ago when was chasing striped bass and barred surf perch in California and it was a work horse. Nice catches!

Great looking fish and way to end on a good note
