Mickey and I checked out the private hole Saturday morning. The last  time we were there, top waters caught the fish. They are so much fun to fish not doubt that is what we started with. We went straight to the place we caught them the last time we went there.  It was the top water time of the day and it was overcast, perfect. The first one hit 6 inches behind my Whopper Plopper and would not come back for seconds. The WP moves along rapidly so Mickey tried his famous crazy shad routine, which is very slow. A fish that would have been the FOD blasted at it but did not touch the bait. We took that as the fish just didn’t want anything on top so we changed baits. For most of the day I used a DT-6 and Mickey rotated from worm to top water to DT-6. I had to leave early so we left at 11 with a total of 10 fish, no biggies.  I think the fish were biting in the afternoon. I say that because when I got home and let the dogs out nothing was moving. With the dogs back in I decided to take a nap but the squirrels started coming to the bird feeder and the dogs took offense because they can see it. I have two hounds and they can really make a ruckus. When the squirrels were chased off they came back in 10 minutes. I set a Have A Heart trap and caught two before the afternoon was over. Without a nap I did not have a heart when dealing with the squirrels. If we had been at the Private Hole when the squirrels were causing problems, I’d bet the fish were going after it. As hot as it’s been I believe we would have been hot, sweaty and tired to say the least.
