Thought I was going to be a hot shot today and go up to greenwood and jig the bridge where we saw a lot of fish caught Saturday. Got there around 8 and headed to the bridge. I jiged around the bridge until 11 and only caught 1 little bream. There were several other boats fishing it also and they were not doing any better. I tried another bridge and did no better. Oh well so much for jig fishing. I loaded the boat had dinner and headed home. I tried minnows and jigs. Don
Sorry you did not find them biting today Don. The upcoming cooler weather should help them get a little more active.
Thanks for the effort and for the report !
Sorry you did not have much luck Don. The best success I've had fishing bridges is casting the jig beyond the piling and let it fall into the strike zone. Most times you only saw the line twitch or go slack when you had a bite. I used 4# test line and 1/32 jigs.
I have not done that in years. None of the stuff that worked for me in Georgia seems to work on Murray.
Least you were on the water, had a good meal and got home safe. Not all bad.
I did not do much of anything today and I got some yard work tomorrow that I have put off too long.
Jigging is something I need to spend more time doing too. Seems while jigging I catch most of the fish near the bottom even when I see them holding mid water column.
Sorry you didMt get on them Don.
You coming up early tomorrow?
Let me know. I'm free as far as I know.
Going to meet Tim at the ramp around 12 and go get something to eat and then may put in and ride around and look. I have not giving up on the jig fishing. I am going to fish the bridges on Murray and get better at it I hope. Also going to make a few trips to Santee. See all of you that is coming tomorrow.
I guess I'll see yall at the ramp at 12 then.
If thats ok?
Yeah that is okay.
Good deal. See you and Tim around 12 tomorrow.
Don, ya'll look around the humps going up in and around the Nuclear bridge. Also if you got time look up at the 274 bridge around 10 to 18 foot you may just find some. Good luck! See you around 4:30 at the shelters 3+4.:highfive
sorry you had a tough day Don just the way it works sometime
makes it better when they do take a notion to bite though
Just because you physically saw someone catching fish in a certain area using a particular technique doesn't always equate to being able to duplicate it. There are many subtle differences that may be performed by the fishermen that can make a huge difference between catching and zeroing. Just a few may be jig weight, color, depth fished, presentation, and speed. I hate you did'nt catch'em, but use the trip as a learning experience and keep after them. Sooner or later the stars will align and the fish will be trouble.
