    Default NW report and Turnament tomorrow Dec 13


    Water them 63, stained clear, 6mph SW wind made for a long floats down the river. Caught 15 in 4 hours keep 7, all were 11.5 or 9.5 inches. Light bite, I missed a lot of fish, they tore off or I just was not quick enough. As always they wanted white on Hot pink head. I caught more on jigs than I did with minnows. Tapouts fav - Wassappahas in white/char The depth ya got to figure out! after all it is tournament day at Bobs fishing hole tomorrow. PS also caught nice catfish and there were a lot of catfisher persons out.

    Went to NW on Friday, Dec 11, for 6 hours. Caught about 30 in 6' of water. They were all small, between 9 and 11 inches. I kept 16 of the biggest ones for the table. Water temp on Friday was 51* at the surface.

    Caught a few Grendel's. The biggest was probably about 12 - 16 lbs. It was only the second time I have been since April.

    Did you fish Bob's Fishing Hole tournament Sunday. I did with JC. I too kept missing the bites. But I am just in the learning stages of tighlining.

    I had planned to, however I had a pipe with a hole in it leaking behind the hot water heater. Big mess, but now I have a new water heater. Soaked the whole crawl space with hot water/steam. I have 2 fish finders and they differ by 10 degrees, so the water was 53 or 63 and it must have been 53.

    I didn't realize anyone else fished with Wasshoppahs. I have had good days there with that color. I normally just use them for vertical jigging but one day switched to casting them and did well.
