Nice job George. Sight fishing is a blast and so educational. It shows you how to trigger them when you can't see them, although I am sure you have already figured that out by now :wink:

PG Report: 9/10/06 .... Sight Fishing
Got out Thankfully 8a.m. - 8-50am. Today and With My Short Time I Wasn't Going to Try Anything Fancy. I knew the water was going to be clear going in but didn't expect 3 Feet of Visibility. Which was enough to sight fish Every Fish I caught this morning. I only caught five none of size but felt great. I was fishing in about 2 feet of water no deeper then that. It was pouring but the fish held shallow and I was able to pick through about 8 fish I seen One nice 2 ponder but its behavior indicated he wasn't interested if I had at least thirty minutes to mess around with him it would of been a different story. But again due to my limited time I wanted the most fish as fast as possible a numbers game so to speak. And that's what it turned out to. A weightless 3" plastic (brown) Rigged with a worm hook did the trick for me. Three of my fish were caught in the last 5 minutes the three displayed below. I'd love t go for kings soon, but have been VERY busy. But then again this winter I'll have the waters to myself!
Here's three that I caught within the last 5 minutes all while sight fishing which is my favorite and a blast!

Nice fish, George Sight fishing has always been hard for me, but I agree that it definitely improves one's skills.
