Jack Millers/Pat's Bay

Hey Guys,
Dad and I made a midday trip this weekend to the Pat’s Bay area and caught about a dozen pretty nice fish…they all appear to be male fish to me. I say “Pat’s Bay Area” because some were caught in Pat’s Bay and some in the canals off of Pat’s Bay on the Northern most end. Every time I thought I had a pattern figured out the fish would stop and I would move to another spot. Every fish was caught around a Cypress tree in about 3 feet of water on black or red and black hair jigs. The water in Grand River is high and the color changes as you move around, and seems to be falling pretty fast.
Good fishing!
Sac-a-lait D.A.

Thanks for the report. We were going Saturday, but the oak tree pollen put me down. Still not right but getting there. I'm taking some vacation next week and plan to hit them Wed, Thur AND Fri. Hope my plans don't fall through. LOL
Let me know when you head out there again. We might could double-team them.

Nice looking fish! We tried Pigeon the other day and struck out. Will have to try the Jack Millers area soon. Thanks for the pics.

Nice. I went to Bull Tail on Sunday, and tried around the Cyprus trees. Kept changing colors and depth of my jigs, but no luck. Worked my way to Pats Bay, but by that time I was sneezing so much I thought I might fall overboard and drown. :Doh:

When u leave jm landing and go to the left? is there a cut to the right,and how far is it(the cut), that leads to pats bay?

anyone going thursday to that area. ive been around there but never to pats bay. if anyone going let me know or if someone could explain it to me

Looks like Blacks and Whites

I don't know if you can see the map, but the red dot is Jack millers. I go west from there, go almost all the way to the levee, take the canal south to Pats Bay.

I will be fishing in cut off during the weekend. Bout to head to jack millers now, will post a report

fishervet:
At 30mph it's only a 10-15 minute run. Fish the canals going into the bay. Don't think there's much action in the bay itself.

Hear is a map for those who have requested info...hope it helps!

Didn't do nothing yesterday. Only two bites

Well that just sucks! But at least you were out there. I was working.....

My 90 hp does about 43mph, and I can get to canal leadingto pat's Bay in about 13 or 14 minutes. I caught a few fish 2 weekends ago in the dogleg canal right after you turn in to the 13 min canal. Only one in pats bay though. It was on the west side of the little island.

Love those dark colors! Thanks for posting.
