The Next Day

The lake was up another foot but the lake is so low I didn’t think it would make much difference. Late start again (11:30) along with a Southwest wind about 15 MPH. Today, like yesterday, it didn’t take long to get things started. No luck on a Carolina but a DT-6 started off with a 4-11 FOD. It caught a few more but the size was going down. I tried where the bass were hitting on top yesterday but the water was up a foot and the wind was pouring straight through that spot. I returned to the starting spot with the DT-6 and DT-10 and the Carolina but nothing. When I started down the bank, I ran into a group that started with a 4-0 but once again the size deteriorated. When that ran out I crossed the lake to a favorite spot and caught a 4-8 on the first cast with a DT-10. It had a wingman follow it to the boat that was only slightly smaller. Never could get that one to bite. Caught two more there with a DT-6 . After that I tried the Carolina, a chigger craw on a rugby head and even a rattletrap but zero. Snagged two silver carp today. I have figured out that the best way to deal with them is to use the boat hook like a gaff hooking them through the gills. They are quickly immobilized and it’s easy to take your pliers and remove the hooks. I ended up with 12 bass, three of which were over 4 pounds. Back home by 4:30.
