Fishing Report - Secession 9-23-15

As the saying goes, Any day is a good day for fishing and on very windy days the fishing may be a little harder but the fish will still bite. As was the day today on Secession. Very windy but when you could get the bait to the fish they would bite. Not the hottest bite I have seen but is was still fun to pull in some good crappie and even an old bass :)
Water temp is hanging right at 80 with most showing 78 degrees. Water is hard stained but it doesn't have any debris floating so I would say the water is just right :ThumbsUp
Jigs tipped with small minnows worked best with my Clark Hills Shiner jig working the best, here is a picture of it,

The bait is thick in places and most of the fish were holding close to the bottom but you did find some suspended half way in the water column and the depths of 12' to 20' worked the best today.

A few pics from the day.

Great video. Wish I could fit in one of them skinny man boats.

Enjoyed the video(great one by the way) and pics. Thanks for sharing.

I like the yak it is so versatile. Thanks for the show and pictures. As always making me jealous. LOL :biggrin :popcorn

The at is a nice video and glad you were able to catch some. Stump why don't you use the kayak with the trolling motor.

We tried to fish Murray today in my friend's big center console boat and the wind blew us around like a kite. Even with the 80# I-Pilot we could not hold the boat like we needed to. How in the world you manage in a Kayak in the wind is beyond me. Enjoyed the video, you made it look like fun.

Don I sold the kayak with the trolling motor, at times I wish I still had it just don't like have to deal with all the regulations. On day that the wind isn't as bad as today you don't have any trouble even with paddling while trolling. The wind today was tough.

HEY THAT'S COOL .
YOU GO BOY
:fish
NICE FISH TOO

Thanks Marcus, hope you find them biting this weekend :ThumbsUp

Great post and pix.You in the BG contest.

Nice job, Ronnie.....I bet this rain and cooler temps at night have lowered the lake temps. Looking forward to trying them Friday or Saturday.

Keith I think it will to. It is sounding like we are going to get more rain this week than they first called for because of a low setting up in the South. Not sure what it will do and the temps are going to drop 10 degrees tomorrow from today's temps. If I get to go I'm going to look for them to be holding in 15 to 20' depths near the edges of drop offs. With the water looking hard stained last week the lake may be turning over, not sure. I did get reports that the Hill is turning over, the whole lake it sounds like. Good luck if you go.

Ronnie, I'm planning on going Friday morning for about 4 hours....I'll let you know how I do.
