Turned out it was peacock bass chasing shad. I turned off the engine grabbed a rod and cast into the feeding frenzy. Hookup.. a 1 2/3 pound peacock bass. Over the next 4 1/2 hours we never moved out of the "County Yard" area.
Brian was using one of those $2 lures he sells at the store. It's a fast sinking, minnow looking thing. He fished it slow and deep. Glenn was fishing everything in his tackle box..... and catching on most of it.
I seemed to be spending all my time netting, measuring, weighing, and tagging peacock bass.
Water temperature was 74 degrees.... so that blows my "fish don't bite during cold water days".
The fish would school up and bust the surface, but most of the fish were taken deep. Deep and slow... perfect for a rattle trap lure.
I'm tired, so I'll end it here. We tagged 19 fish. Most over 2 1/2 pounds.
The largest 3 were 3 1/2 pounds each. Great fun on 4# and 6# test spinning tackle. We probably lost twice that many.....
"Sportsman's Release" LOL I don't know how a fish can spit out a lure with two trebble hooks.

Moved up to the North Fork.... Starting at the dam on the north side of the lake..... there were hundreds and hundreds of red devils.... going back tomorrow with my fly rod. All Day, NOTHING on Live Bait... all lures.
That just ain't right!
