Default Center Hill Lake Report

Fished Center Hill today with my son.....always a good thing. We launched at 9:30 a.m. and pulled out at 4:30 p.m. Water temps were 61 starting and had warmed to 65 degrees when leaving. Water was slightly stained. We caught over 2 dozen Smallies....numerous Gills at the 8 inch mark.....about a dozen shellcracker around the 7 inch mark...and 8 Spotted bass 11-13 inches. The Smallies were 14.5-16.5 inches. All the Smallies appeared to be males that had been fanning beds. All fish caught on a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a 3/32 jig head with a #6 hook using SOS 2# test line. I was using a Yamaga Blanks Blue Current 6' 10" TZ Jig Head Special UL rod. My son was using a Major Craft SkyRoad 7' 4" Ajing UL rod. It was a great day...lot of fun. To say these fish fought hard on the 2# test line is an understatement. They were flat digging trying to get to deeper water. Going to hit it again Monday....life is good!


Regards

Thanks for the comments Ott.....I was fully expecting you to show up at Normandy the other day. You know us old guys get nostalgic....LOL. I am very blessed to do what I do. You know I think you and I both are going to see hiway 64 finished all the way into Savannah. It has been neat watching that thing being built the past 10 years or so. Hope to see you on the water soon some where.


Regards

Daniel I don't remember seeing you....but I am getting old...LOL. Eye site not as good as it used to be. I was marking spots where I think Gills will bed up in about 5-6 weeks. I plan to fish the bluffs back in there in late summer when the Gills hang out at about 20 feet deep.
