COMBO TROLLING 1/17/19 (VIDEO)

Jim and I fished Lake Oconee today for the first time since 12/3/18. We began this morning about 8:30 and fished until 3:30. The water was 51 degrees when we started and 53 degrees when we finished. We trolled 1 mph and long lined 1/16 oz jigs out the back of the boat and pushed 1/16 oz jigs approximately 20 inches below a 3/4 oz sinker out of the front of the boat. Dark colors worked the best as there was a good stain on the water. We caught fish on blk/blu/chart curly tail, blk/chart curly tail, Wildcat curly tail, white/chart Charlie Brewer Grubs and black/chart Bobby Garland shad. The fish were scattered in and near submerged timber and we caught them in water that ranged from 25-50 feet deep. We were fishing about 10 feet deep. We fished the south end of the lake. We even caught 3 good fish crossing the lake to move to another spot. We probably caught over 25 fish but kept 13 nice fish. We had 4 fish that were 14 inches. The fishing was slow for the most part but for this time of year I was pleased with the results. We counted 12 other boats in the area we were fishing. I hope you enjoy the video. We enjoyed making it!

Enjoyed the video. I will be headed back to Oconee soon, but first I need to figure out the lake in my backyard: Lanier.

Good job.

Great show, way to go.

Great video as always. Glad you and Jim made it back to the lake. I was wondering if you guys fished in the winter? Great your back and one of these days i'll see ya on the lake.

Nice video, glad to see you are getting back after those crappie? Been hard to get any good days here with all the wind and rain.

The weather here this year has kept us off the water more than usual. How is the long lining going out there in Texas?

We did pretty good last year during the learning phases (still learning). Have not had a chance to get out this year yet. But it will not be long maybe. Good luck with your fishing.
