Comments
It was another day of competition between Scott and me for the bragging rights to who caught the most fish. We were fishing a body of water which I had only fished once before, so I had very little experience on the pool, but I like the challenge of fishing new areas.
The last time I was here was two years ago in the spring and at that time me and Terry C. did pretty well on the pike. I was hoping for a repeat on the pike, but it was not meant to be. The very first fish I had on was a pike, but it was the last and it never even made it boat side.
Our first two to three hours were very unproductive, we caught a fish here and there, but it was very slow. After a lot of searching and endless casting we finally located the mother lode. I had told Scott that when we did find fish, we would find a bunch and that is exactly what happened. I think we could still be there catching bass. Scott used a rattle trap to catch the majority of his whereas I used a crank bait. We also caught a few fish at the end of the streak on senko’s.
Observations
We found absolutely no fish in the back waters, they were all relating to the main channel or within very close proximity to it. I was very amazed at all the backwater areas this pool has to offer.
