150 off the wall.
"150 off the wall".........hit Pickwick early this morning. The flood gates at Pickwick just closed a few days ago after being open for almost 3 weeks. I was pretty sure there would still be a big presence of white bass...and there was. What really surprised me was that they were spilling milk.....I didn't really notice that until I was cleaning my boat up. I would have thought the spawn would have been over but I guess not. I headed to the wing wall and as I approached I saw a boat tucked back in behind it....I thought well I will have to go elsewhere.....but as I got closer I noticed it was my fishing buddy and fellow Trout Magnet user. He waved me in and we tagged teamed white bass for about 5 hours. Both of us throwing a ThunderHawk Dancer on a 1/8 ounce Micro Dancer jig head. Cast to the wall...count it down and hold on! I caught well over 150 white bass...and so did James......there were a few bluegills mixed in. The fish were really nice....fighting hard and trying to head for the 40 foot depth that we were sitting in. These fish were "diggin"! I was using a Major Craft Truzer UL Ajing rod with 4# test SOS line. Water temps were 72 degrees and flow was 40,000 CFS. The drag was screaming all day.....it was a fish every cast. It was hot today....90 degrees. When I started this morning there were about 3 dozen boat trailers in the parking lot....when we left at around 3:30 p.m. there were only 3 left....most had pulled out around 1:00 p.m. All in all a great day! Life is good!
