Saw lots a fish but...

Brant Peacher · 02-25-2008, 04:43 PM

Went out for a little midday sight fishing today. Lots of fish were seen but it was very hard to entice a bite. Deadsticking a Gulp! in front of them was about the only way I got these fish to eat. Fished for a couple hours and caught 3 decent reds. 18-23". The wind picked up and I couldnt see any more so I took it to the house.

I was also testing a new jig head that was given to meby Fisherman's Enterprises. It was a 1/8oz red head with a tremendously sharp hook. I went 3 for 3 on fish today and will continue to use it in the future. It has one of the sharpest hooks Ive found ona jig head.

Kept this 19" fish for dinner!

Awsome man! I wish I knew where you Blackwater fishermen go to catch all the fish...

Deadsticking, that's about the only thing I didn't try yesterday. I did let a few gulpssit for a few seconds and slooooowed my retrieve way down, butI couldn't get a bite.

Glad you had some luck!

Way to go Brant! Good diligence with the Red. Once you caught one did the fish stick around or didyou keep moving?

What's your preference? going down stream once they flee, or up stream?

Go Noles!

Nice fish Brant!!! I was out in Blackwater on Sunday fishing in thegrass and got into a school of reds but the bite never really picked up for me either. Ended up catching 2 rats. Then like you said the wind picked up so we headed to one of our other holes and caught a 22" and 24" red. We caught ours on the gold spoon and 5" Bass Assassin jerk shad.

Westayed in the grass; I was determind to scout some little channelsI had never gotten into with the Bay Pirate! We used, Gulp Jerk Baits, FlatsAssassin Gold Spoons, Skitterwalks, Mirror lures, Eletric Chicken, She-dogs and I'm sure I'm forgett'n something.

We did see fish but could identify onlyone group as reds for sure when I saw the bronze back as one moved by and rolled in the shallows!

Glad somebody caught something! We were SKUNKED!:banghead
