Ok, the vegetation is dieing in all the back waters. The bite sunday was
tough. About half the field brought in limits. We weighed in one. We
caught maybe 12 fish, but all shorts. Several boats weighed in zero.
We tried two backwaters. One with lots of dieing vegetation, and that was
deeper and pretty clear. We caught our one keeper in the shallower water
with all the dieing vegetation.
We caught a couple small fish in or near the mouth of backwater channels.
Ideas. We did not fish the main channel, but I'm not sure we could have
with Dave Grishams 30lb trolling motor. I had a hard time of it in the past
with a 50lb motor. On the other hand his 16.5 foot nitro might have been
small enough to be held with that motor. It was certainly nicer to fish out
of than I expected after fishing out of my 20 footer.
We threw topwater. I missed one nice fish with it. Almost everythign else
I caught was on topwater. I caught a couple shorts on a small U-Tail worm.
Dave threw his big three bladed buzz bait allmost all day. The one keeper
was when he switched over to a baby brushhog.
What would you have tried?
