Center Hill 11/30

[Texas_Rig]

Went to the Hill today. I had a buddy go a couple days ago and they caught some nice fish. He told me what to do and what to look for. I started near the dam and caught 3 or 4 smallmouth and a couple spotted bass first thing. I then decided to head to a creek based on my friends advise. Well I spent the next 5 hours in Indian Creek and got one bite. I was discouraged. I was running back to the ramp to leave and I decided to stop on a main lake bluff wall and parallel it with a spinnerbait. That was a good decision. I ended up catching a bunch of fish and ended up with a respectable limit. A spinnerbait is a big confidence lure for me. It wasn't spinnerbait conditions really but it worked. No wind and the water was very clear.

Ya just never know unless you try that one last spot/technique.
Glad you got on some.

Nice fish!

Nice!!

Thx guys. It just goes to show you that just because your not catching them doesn't mean they are not biting. I had already fished very similar areas with very little success. A change in bait and presentation made all the difference in a bad day vs a good day.

Nice catch, heard spinner baits were the thing to use right now on CH, looks like that is correct, thinking of heading down in the morning

Good luck to you. I only saw one other boat the whole day. Not much pressure out there

Looks like a good day!!!

Fished Center Hill for about 4 hours, was tough, water was like a sheet of glass, water temp around 57, several boats we talked to weren't doing any good either, thought we were going to get shut out but salvaged a smallie before we left

You should've fished the tournament Saturday, It's a 3 fish limit deal, took a little over 10lbs to win, 4.77 big fish.

We were there about 4 weeks ago and ran into same deal. Went out of Ragland and mustered only a few fish, small ones. Ran all the way up to Rock Island ramp and caught a few more little ones. On the way back down lake stopped to hit some main lake points with deep coves. All of a sudden they jumped all over jerk baits (deeper diving). We didn't have any bigguns but had lots in the one and half to two pound range. Salvaged the day with lots of action. Dont know the lake that well but sure is beautiful. .
