A Ok Night - Big "G"
Well, hello everyone. I hope you're all doing well today and have a better day tomorrow. I just wanted to show my fishies :popcorn
It was roughly 70 degrees overnight. We got to Polecat Creek around roughly 8:00 PM, because that's where people reported "fish are biting good there". Well, I guess they didn't like the way our minnows smelled, so we packed up around 12:30 AM and headed to our "secret hole". We set up about 1:00 AM'ish and the bite was on as soon as we got there. We would've had a lot more if we would've followed our first instinct and went there. :Doh: I did get a little cool breeze around 3:00 AM-4:30 AM. I was tight lining under a bridge sitting in 30 fow. I dropped down to 12-14 ft and when it got to be closer to daybreak, I moved up to 8-10 ft. All caught on minnows except one. One was caught with a crank bait trolling.
I also met, Anthonyb, from here, and him and his wifey-pooh had a good catch rate as well from what they reported, and he was kind enough to pass along some well needed minnows! Thanks, Anthonyb! Appreciated that! Well, here is my pics. Enjoy the rest of your day and Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar Eagle!!

Nice looking mess of fish there! Congrats on a decent night out. Did the stripe steal most of the bait?
-
Not as bad this time as in recent trips. They were mostly hitting my pole when I was in the dark areas.

Nice job. Glad you got to enjoy.

Thanks so much guys. You're right about being crowded under bridges. Not too many people stay all night though. Once they leave and it settles down, we jump on em! I like to get there at dusk and fish till day light. Having the glow sticks on the end of my rods really helped me see them bite. It was a light tick. I just ordered a Go Pro, so maybe soon I'll too have some videos to share with you all. I'm ordering my winter clothing now lol. It gets coooooold on that water at night. If I actually would've been on the spot and not off in the dark to the side of the spot I would have more probably. But still had fun. I went yesterday morning to fish my local piers, sitting in 10-11 fow, I fished slip corks set at 5 ft and 6 ft, then adjusted to 3 ft to 4 ft ... not one hit off live minnows.
Well, have a awesome day guys.

Wow! I just saw this will be on the front page in a few days as an article.Thank you so much. I've never had one of my articles published on the front page. This is awesome! I love you guys. You just made my day! I can't wait to get my camera so I can start filming!

You clean your fish inside the house? I'm guessing you aren't married lol

No, I'm engaged, Lol. What I do is have the garbage bag below. I fillet them with the breading knife and just toss all of the fish into the bag. Then when I'm done, I go ahead and run it to the dumpster. Then I wipe everything down. It doesn't stink at all. She's very cool about it, as long as I don't leave them sitting there in the kitchen for hours on end, I'm good. Lol. If I end up scaling them, I scale them under water in the sink and I don't have to worry about scale clean up detail.
