Opiemus Rex and I went out Friday to check out a couple of his honey trees that had been producing well for him. Unfortunately all the bigger fish had moved off the brush and we (mostly Jeff) caught a number of smaller fish with just a couple over 8" so we did not keep any. Both of us caught a huge gar that kept us busy but added nothing to the bag.
I decided to go out this morning and try them again. We are normally in church but I had to drop my wife off a 7 am for a bus trip she us taking and it was near where I fish so there you go.
I managed a decent mess with a couple of 13" ones. Ronnie (stumphunter) had tied me some jigs that were similar to a Hal Fly jig that I used years ago but is no longer made. It worked really well today and all my fish were caught on it.
There is a big difference in a 13" and a 9.5" fish as seen in the picture. The smallest fish on the table was 9.5 " but looks much smaller beside the larger fish.
I thought it would show in the picture on the tackle box but hard to see. It is a 1/32 with black head, silver body and white marabou tail.
I found these fish around docks in Beaver Dam Creek.
