I left work a little early yesterday (10/19) and took my kayak out to Limestone Bay (Wheeler). I was throwing a jig at structure. Water surface temp started at about 74 and ended up around 72 at sunset. I fished 3 1/2 hours and brought home 6 keepers. Two were in the 9" range, which I usually don't keep, but I was hoping for a mess to fry and knew I probably wasn't going to load the cooler. First fish was 12" but they went downhill from there. Caught most on a 1/32oz bobby garland natural shad color in 5-8 feet of water.
I haven't hit limestone bay in a while.. my dad use to frequent it every weekend and seemed to have done pretty well. 6 keepers in that short time is still a win in my books eminart

The fishing wasn't on fire, but leaving work early and spending some time on the water was definitely a win.Quote:

I need to get down to flint one day and try to catch a few.... Work always gets in the way of fishing though. Got a ton of OT coming up
Understand that prater. Same here being short handed at work don't get many off days hoping this cooler weather may help the bite some

They've about sucked the bottom out of Guntersville. I know that's relative to what body of water you're on in AL. Dropping Big G, 18" would be no big deal to the Coosa guys.Quote:

Very slow day for my son and I today on Cotaco. One keeper. 3 shorts. All released. Last week was slow. Today was slower.
Great day with much wildlife. Enjoyed watching some white pelicans, an otter that followed us for about a half mile, and plenty of Great Blue Heron.
No one else today was having luck except the water police who was catching folks with no license and short fish. Conservation officer launched out of Sharp Ford boat ramp. Saw him issue at least three citations.
Glad to see them out there though. And a day on the water was still good, and it was a beautiful sunrise. It should pick up here soon spaceman

Maybe this cold snap next week will help
Anytime on the water is good time! Yeah, I was glad to see the conservation officer on the water. This only the second time I have seen one since 2006.Quote:

Glad Yaw got to get out! Makes me feel good to see them out their doing their job ! You would be surprised how many folks take a advantage of our resources. Been checked on the water 4 times in the last 20 yrs 3 of them has been in the last 2 yrs hope they beef it up!
Slabprowler me too. U can call them to report something but it most likely won't be that day when they get to catch the folks. I've seen several short jacks (sauger) being kept and it irks the pee out of me.
