Got back early from vacation with high hopes of catching some specks. Went to the river and fished till 1100. To say the bite was slow would be an over rated statement. It was non existent for me. I fished shallow and mid depths to 20 ft and not a bite. I pulled cranks and pushed jigs with no luck. The water temp was 90 degrees and hardly any other boats out fishing. Hope everyone else is doing better. Tight lines
should have spider rigged miners !!!!!!!!!!! we have been slaying them on minner critters tipped with minners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the fish moved Jerry. Didn't have enough time to find em but after a day like today miners was on my mind lol.
Higher water temps and lower oxygen ,levels can hurt fishing. Also here fish must be following Shad , cause they seem to be here today gone tomarrow.Can be a hunting game to stay on them.
You are right nimrod about here today gone tomorrow. Will chase em again but in other places I didn't look today.
Most of what I've seen is the fish are roving. Had a bunch found on the sonar. Went back just a few days later and they were gone, however ole wpt 8 has had fish on it ever single time. Wpt 8 and I have become close friends.
any time i want to see a lot of fish on my depth finder i just put it in simulator mode !!!!!! i see all sizes, but for some reason they are hard to catch though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmbo Jerry. I almost swallowed my milkshake thru my nose.
I didn't think of that. I bet I had left mine set on simulator. I knew there too many fish on that sonar.
Reminds me of the goofy guy that drinks coffee at the local greasy spoon every morning. Told us his depth finder did not work. Then said depth was messed up but showed fish everywhere that would not bite. Asked us to look at it and set it. Boat was in the parking lot and showed 25' deep. We told him it was that far down to water. He had it set on similator mode.Roflrotfl:donorotflRofl
Lmbo nimrod good one there
Rofl I think I've been there. Kept trying to change the settings on mine in simulator, they just wouldn't save when I turned it off.Quote:

You got it billy lock jaw. I am puzzled cause some folks are catching them deep and some shallow. One thing for sure is they are some where.
