Dardanelle today.... 1/6/13

I know I'll get blasted on this post without pics but the bite was SLOW at piney..... I did manage 18 by myself an biggest weighing in at 1.97. Single and double poled from 9:30 to 4:00 fishing submerged tops and following the bait fish. Met several cc'ers out there and it was good to see all of you. I'm a little upset cause I didn't get to join the "drum club" like the rest of you......

By the way, if you don't have these in your arsenal, you ought to, hint, hint. Thanks (creekslick) Wayne for making the jigs! They are excellent......and exactly what I was looking for.

I will put you on the best drum hole in the lake but you will have to PM me so everyone don't beat you there.

Good job Dennis and pretty Jig also Creek.

Sounds like a good day. You earned em because the pressure jumped about 10 AM and the bite went to a crawl. Congrats.

I was a little disappointed in the drum bite today too. We only managed one and he was little. Haha.

Nice job

it was good to see you today .ended up with 12 and it was tough look foward to seeing you next time

Glad ya'll did good.

The bite was slow and it was a very light bite. Sometimes when I set the hook on that ozark money stick, I came up emptied handed. Seems like you had to let them "swallow" to really set the hook. But this semis to be a pattern on them high pressure days?

You're right about that. I usually push a few poles and hold my jig pole steady when I see some cover on the depth finder. Probly caught almost half our fish on the jig pole.

The saying back home is "when the pole feels heavy, set the hook". It ain't always a thump. Makes you wonder how many fish you miss while trolling...
