Goldeneye 7-10-2014
Took the kayak out to Williamsport and put in at Blue Cat. Fished for several hours but the fish were suspended out in deep water holding from 7 feet down to 23 feet. Caught a few Gills but nothing seemed to want to bite. Marked a ton of crappie....several schools of hybrid. The large mouth were doing pretty good for those fishing for them today. Loaded up and thought how nice it would be to get home under the AC. Well I turned down the road to Goldeneye and unloaded the kayak and tried it again...LOL. Caught a ton of 6 inch shell cracker bluegill cross, and a ton of small buck bass about 5-7 inches long. I was casting the edges of the Duckweed next to brush. On two occasions after hooking the crackers a largemouth decided he wanted it....LOL. That was quite a commotion. They were big fish. You could hear....and see, the bass blowing up back in that stuff. You could also hear that unmistakable slurp that big Gills make sucking down some insect. The best way to fish that stuff for shell crackers is not with 2# test and a Trout Magnet. I need a 6# test setup as a drop shot with a cricket or worm and just toss in the middle of that slop. The water is up and the water in Goldeneye looked real good.
