Thread: Overcast Wednesday in The Office LOP

Tennessee trip and honey do's when I got back kept me off the lake for a couple of weeks. Dragging a bit I didn't hit it till 8:30am. It was supposed to be sunny and hot but turned out to be overcast a bit, warm but enjoyable - temperature wise. Started to scan some ledges to test out my lesson from Pumpman and try some trolling. Found a good ledge and was marking it for a run when another buddy called me and said they got there early and was picking some off stumps in about 16 ft. I'm a sucker for stump fishing so I hooked up with him and caught probably 10 chunkers and 12 nice keepers. A half a gallon of fillets. Surface water temp showed 89-90. They were fickle and what worked for me was to pull out 15 ft of line, flip past the stump and when I felt a bite I'd kind of slow pull the jig untill it felt solid then give him a wrist snap. I call it walking the dog. Seemed they wouldn't thump on a vertical drop and if you felt any tick at all on the line you'd better give it a quick pop. Bite stopped around 1. Saving my trolling for another day. Sure felt good to be in "The Office". (The name of my boat)
