Slow Saturday

[Stan Wright]

Peacock bass were few and far between for me today. Little ones at that... way under one pound. Just about everyone I spoke with figured on good fishing after the schooling action they experienced on Wed, Thur, and Fri..... but it didn't turn out that way today. I didn't talk to anyone who was using live bait. "Well, that's why they call it fishing and not catching." Should be better tomorrow...

I've only been off island for about a week and I'm already wanting to get back and catch some schooling tucs. When they're going good there isn't anywhere else in the world I'd rather be fishing. It amazes me that you can catch 30-50 fish in a hour or two will artificials and not even move your boat.

Catching tucs when they are feeding on shad is a lot of fun, but picking them off is fun also. This is how it was last Saturday morning and I had to change techinques as the day went on. They were still biting when I left about 10 am. It was challenging. The fish are ice cold to the touch lately but that has not slowed them down.

Getting back to catching 50 fish in a couple of hours, do any of you guys notice if your elbow gets sore? My elbow and wrist were starting to bother me when the fishing was really hot. It was throwing off my shooting in basketball.

I wouldn't complain!!! When does the action start getting faster and what baits do I need to invest in for the future???

They will all sorts of things, top water, cranks, jerk baits hard and soft. But the shad here are small so down sizing is sometimes necessary. Although my biggest tucs have come on big baits.
