Bell City Drain Ditch 8/2

Made a trip today to visit a few brush piles. I kept 19 sacs but threw back a bunch under sized sacs, all the bream goggle eyes and bass. I caught them on black / chartreuse road runners, triple tail spinner baits and shiners. I know I but over a 100+ fish in the boat. My thumbs look like sand paper......rotfl. I worked the spinners just fast enough to turn the blades. SLOW. I was even catching them in open water. I got some good go pro footage too. Here are a few pics for your enjoyment.Attachment 169951Attachment 169952Attachment 169953Attachment 169954Attachment 169955Attachment 169956Attachment 169968Attachment 169969

Nice!

You had a good day. I'da kept the bream and smaller black bass.

Storm Cloud I watched a buddy of mine wear out the bream yesterday. He had a meat trip.

Good catch and a great report.

Good catch, send that bite up my way rotfl

I'm gonna have to make my way over there one day

Thanks guys. Went this morning and kept 15. It was slow. Nothing big today. All around 10in-12in. The wind was whipping through the canals. There were thunderstorms all around. It sure was nice under the umbrella.

nutin wrong with 10"-12".....I'll take them all day long........and be happy to get them....

Oh I am not complaining. It just seemed slow compared to yesterday. Yesterday was non-stop action all day. Today I left before the major feeding time. There was a storm on the horizon and it looked like it would get between me and the launch.

How long of a trip you think it would be if I came from lafayette

An hour and a half.

Hey fishinfool there is a lot of water around here for you to learn. Just a heads up so you don't have to drive so far

I'm always down for a challenge is there good depth to most of it to pull jigs

It is only 9ft at its deepest where I fish. In some parts it gets to 12 ft. I fish brush piles. Not everyone catches there. I am going to try spider rigging it in about 2 weeks.

saute86, I want to hear more about your luck with the gopro. I was looking at them today, but just not sure I would stay interested in it.

I love them. It would be a must for a Yak. Its water proof and you can buy a float for them. The Black is $399, Silver is $299, and White is $199. The White has 1080 video, 3 burst per second and 8 mega pixel camera, the Silver is 1080, 10 burst per second and 10 mega pixel. The Black is blue-ray quality and has a remote. I use a hat clip and a suction cup mount. I have gotten some good footage. Its a great learning tool. I watched and learned what I was doing wrong loosing large fish before I could get them in the net.

I would be looking at the White for sure. Have you published any to YouTube yet?

Not yet the ones I edited take too long to down load. I don't have fast enough service. I will make a few shorts to post.

What where you doing wrong? I may be doing it wrong also.....

He was prob holding his mouth wrong that's what my great uncle use to tell me I was doin

I was keeping the rod tip too high and it was pulling them to the surface. Now I keep the rod tip low just above the water and pull them sideways. I swing them around the boat and sling them in the boat in one continuous movement. This never gives them a chance to shake there head and spit the hook.
