Roots and Vines
Sunday, July 19th, 2020 | Author: admin
Mickey and I had a hanging up day on the Garhole Saturday. We were fishing with topwaters to start and were trying to cast too close to our target. Only and inch or two too far and it’s ” go get it”. The ” fish protectors” hanging vines get focused out when you are concentrating on your target, much to your chagrin. We started early and even with the hangups we caught a few on top. When that bite ran out the worms came out but it was here and there. It had started to warm up and the shade seemed to concentrate a few fish, some in relatively shallow water. The topwaters came back out and we enjoyed some success catching a few more on top. It’s always fun to see one come up and hit your bait even if they were not blasting it. The bream were hungry too as we caught 4 on the topwaters, most snagged in the back due to sharp hooks. We went back to the worm when we ran out of shady spots . The fish had become very lethargic and would only hit the worm when you “shook” it , and then very lightly. It was too hot to put up with that foolishness so we quit. We caught 23 bass with a FOD of 2 3/4.
