Headed to Pickwick today to see if the Crappie were up in the hole....they were not. Went over to the generator side and all that was over there was Skipjack. My two prime fishing spots were void of any good fishing for today. Since I had made the trip I went over to the lake side....where the dam and bank meet....hoping to salvage the day. I got into the Smallies. Now I have caught a lot of 20 plus inch Small Mouth. This was not going to be that kind of day. This was the best day for quantity of Small Mouth I have ever had or ever hope to have. I hooked and landed close to 100 fish all in the 11 to 13 inch range. Now I know those are not trophy fish but using 2# test line I had a great time. They were in 8 to 10 feet of water close to the bank. I was wondering why no Gills were hitting so started casting out further in deeper water looking for them. They were holding on the bottom in 25 feet of water. Now I had two specie patterned. The rest of the day was great. Cast into the deep and catch some nice Gills and a few Red Ear, and then cast back to the shallows and catch some Smallies for a while. My pics are not great. I am using the new waterproof camera I bought. There are 32 Gills and a few of them are Red Ear. Most of those fish are around a half pound. I think I will hit that place again Thursday. Oh...got some decent Large Mouth in the mix also.
