Beautiful day on the water yesterday, catching not so much.
I traveled some distance to fish an area that I had some good intelligence on. A friend has been having some recent success on this small body of water so I decided to make the 102 mile trek to join up with him. Last week he had 2 spectacular days with his best day being 8 cats and a total bag weight of 230lbs+
Absolutely gorgeous day, almost no wind to contend with and a slight current. We anchored in various spots but our results did not match his from last week. I got 4 blues with my best at around 8 lbs. One was a super dink and the other 2 were eaters which went in the livewell. He nabbed a few small ones but had a decent fish at just over 20lbs. I lost one that felt decent but it came unbuttoned. Water temps were 62-64 degrees.
This body of water is river like with a dam on each end and on either side is a decent sized reservoir. If I lived closer I would be fishing it quite a bit because it’s not big and should be fairly easy to learn. No map for this one on my map card so I had to search for the channel and holes to locate fish. I marked fish everywhere but not sure what they were. Sure didn’t want our baits. We fished cut crappie, shad, white perch and chicken thighs.
Next week I plan on trying another new to me body. We’ll see how it goes.
