Fishing Notes |

This afternoon i got on the water about 2pm and man was the sun blazing today!! This was an afternoon that I really should have spent looking for bait in the backs of creeks and flipping docks, but the brush piles are still calling my name! This time of the year you can really fish both docks and deep structure so its a great time for anglers to be on the water. This afternoon i went fishing some brush piles in the glaze to start off, with no bites after the first hour and the sweat piling up on my shirt i decided to make a little run to the osage to cool off! I fished more brush on the osage and still no bites, i was a little surprised but at the same time i knew it was awful hot and it was afternoon when the bite usually does slow down. So I had a decision to make go flip docks or continue fishing brush, and you could only guess i stuck with brush! Believe it or not i went back to the same piles in the glaze that i fished earlier in the afternoon! I ended up catching 6 fish and two keepers in a matter of 30 minutes.So this tells you that just because you didn’t get a bite on a certain spot earlier in the day doesn’t mean to rule it out for the rest of the day. There are many times when im fishing a tournament i hit the same spots two or three times at different times of the day, its all a timing deal. I hope this tip helps you all out. |
