Still There But Some Moving Up
I went back to the little honey hole on the drop off again the other day. Man was it hot! The fish were still there but I soon got bored with the small fish. Decided to do some exploring. The lake was rising a little so I went further backin the bay to see what I could find. I found 2 goooood brush piles. 1 on a flat in about 12, of water & the other in 15'.
BAMMMM! The fish were there! The quality was better too. Suprised me though. They were only about maybe 5' deep over the cover. Don't get me wrong there were some dinks, but there were also some 3/4# fish in there.
You could walk across the flat on the shad! Everywhere you looked there were balls and balls of shad.
I think this cooler weather will have them even shallower if they don't start draining the lakes.
Purple & Chartruse 1 & 1/2" tubes on a 3/32oz head has been hard to beat.
I went again yesterday on Ky & could only muster 1 keeper until right at the end of the day. I decided to check some stuff in about 9' of water further back in the bay. Wouldn't you know it... I caught 3 keepers in about 2 minutes & had a good one wrap me around a limb & break me off. I got in there on the top & spooked'um out so I decided to load up & get'um next time. :D
