Normandy...I'm still fishing
 

Haven't posted in a while. Been busy with a lot of things...selling kayaks....Trout Magnet duties....root canal....sinus infection...trying to get a boat built. Been doing great on crappie out of Center Hill catching multiple limits of big black nose...Smallies at Pickwick.....one decent day of Gills at VFW Lake. A few really good shell cracker here and there. But a lot of days have been tough...meaning my Gill spots have not turned on and some old crappie spots are not doing well. I am fishing from the bank now...except when browntrout loans me his wife's Lure 10 kayak...and until I get the deal on my boat finished. Had a great day at Normandy today with over 70 trout caught on a Bison colored Trout Magnet using SOS 2# test line and 2# test Phantom fluorocarbon leader. There were a couple of Spotted bass in the mix as well. Caught these fish in heavy current in the catch basin right below the dam...a lot of fun. The new JDM ultra light rods I have been using are simply phenomenal rods. The sensitivity scale is off the charts. Life is good!

Nice
 

Looks like your still having a lot of fun... Nice looking fish!

Very nice fish! I have been waiting for the water to come back down so I can get the yak back in to fish there.

Great day with 70+ fish. I'm happy with 7 any time.

Did you use extra weight by the dam due to the fast current? Heavier jig heads or split-shot above the lure?

Yes....I have 1/24....1/32....1/16....and a 3/32 jig head all made with a #8 hook for that purpose.
