Fishing Notes |
---|
Today I got on the water about 12:30 and fished until the thunderstorm started to roll in about 5:30. My intention was to run up past PB1, but thought I would check out the backs of a few of the big and medium sized creeks along the way, starting with party cove. I had no bites in party cove and proceeded up the Glaize, idling to the very backs toward the creeks that were coming in, working the jig on the rocky banks and the stick bait fan casting from the mouth of the creek back into the shallow area, working it fast, twitch twitch, twitch, 2 second pause and then again. The fish were hitting it on the twitch not the pause. One of the 5 pounders came on the jig in about 4′ of water on a laydown and the other came along the side of a dock in about 6 feet of water. The wind, sun/clouds seemed to help the bite today and perhaps the rain has washed in some nutrients, oxygen and warmer water that put the fish in a feeding mood near and around those more shallow areas. It was a fun afternoon fishing. |
