Thread: A nice day on the Hill

Well, I didn't forget my camera or clicker today. Me and my two nephews left out early this morning eager to fish together. Got to the ramp right before daylight and some old geezer was parked on the ramp readying for his trip. . Well after we helped Butch get launched we went up the creek. It started out beautiful. We put 36 on the clicker before the bite slowed down a bit when the sun got to feeling a little hot (which was around 8:00). We were pulling 1 mph in only 6-12 FOW pulling jigs about 4 foot on the light ones and 6-8 foot on the ones rigged heavier. Best color was red/black, but all caught fish. Didn't catch any real big ones (3 or 4 11-inch fish), but didn't catch a lot of real small ones either. After the shallow bite slowed, we moved out to the mouth and pulled deep in 14FOW, but only had a couple. So...we reeled in and went to try the perch hole. We didn't do good and it was getting hot. When we saw Butch heading in, we followed him. Always good to see CDC friends on the water and chew the fat a little. This was a very nice morning. Kept 20 to eat for lunch tomorrow.
