Looking For A Skinny Fish

Sunday, September 07th, 2014 | Author:

When Richard and I fished in the private hole Friday we caught several fish with a sunken belly. I went looking for another one this afternoon to send off for a necropsy  to find out what is causing the problem. Fishing started just before 3. For the first time in a long time I carried an ice chest to take a fish out. Of course I started where Richard and I had the best luck Friday and of course there were not many fish there because we had cleaned them out pretty well. I started out with a 5-XD , a 3-XD, a shaky head and a grub on a jig head. I have not thrown out the DT-6 but the 3-XD goes a little deeper and also is an excellent bait. All baits caught fish but the 3-XD caught 2 on one cast when a school broke out. Richard and I saw one such school Friday but I saw three today in different places . One had 5 fish following the hooked two, another had 6 or 7, and one had 12 to 15 following. I thought I was going to sit right there and load the boat but caught no more in that spot. The schools were moving fast. When you come prepared for something it usually doesn’t happen and that’s what happened today, no skinny fish. Finally fish number 14 had a definite sunken belly. In the box it went. I quit shortly after 6 and rushed to town to drop the fish off at Terry’s house. He is going to see that it gets to the vet school for the autopsy. Stay tuned for the results.
