Before Jackson and I went to Lake Chicot we had made a pact that we would not fish in any of our known places. It was an effort to develop some new spots. We did not have a particularly fast start but we held to our resolution. I had a treetop marked on my GPS that I saw last summer when the lake was drawn down. It was out in deeper water than most of the other cover that I saw. We rode down to the waypoint but I could not find the top. I believe I marked the spot I was casting from and not directly over the top. Even with the sidefinder I could not find it. Need some lessons I guess. There was a tremendous amount of baitfish everyplace we went. On the depthfinder they looked like grass or weeds under the water. We finally enticed one out from under a dock with a worm. The fish was way back under the middle of the dock. I spooled Berkley Nanofil on both of my spinning rods at Hal’s urging. It is slick, has a small diameter, no stretch and casts great. Great for casting under docks because if your aim is bad and you hit the dock there is no backlash. After trying a steep dropoff we went up on the shelf and caught some on a red eye shad. That spot is going to qualify as a new one I think. We both had to leave at 10 and were not able to stay much longer even though the fish had seemed to turn on. We ended up with 4 and one new spot.
