Super User fourbizz Posted February 19, 2007 Super User Share Posted February 19, 2007 Went out on saturday with one of my buddies that I don't get to fish with much. Water was super clear, you could spot fish on bottom in 15+ feet. Water was about 54 degrees. Bluebird skies, about 70 degrees which is downright hot for this time of year in my area. My buddy justin wanted to swimbait and I decided to worm and jig all day. There was a 20 boat tournament on the lake. First spot I pulled up to already had a boat on it. I gave him plenty of room, 100+yards. I busted out the dart head while my buddy tied up. The other guy immediately motored across the area and picked up his swim bait rod. Threw a bait 20 feet off my bow >. Being the more mature one, I grabbed MY swimbait rod and threw a 6 ounce bait at him. My thumb clamped down at the end of the cast and dropped the bait 3 feet off his trolling motor, even splashed up on him . He then left and I went back to worming, that was the last time I picked up the swimbait rig all day. Saw a few fish in about 12 FOW but they were neither real spooky nor interested in any of my presentations. Fished a few more spots without a take on either my dart head or justin's swimbait. Made the four-ish mile run to another offshore spot and anchored up. I soon switched to a drop shot and justin to a 1/4oz finesse jig with twin tail trailer. After about an hour of extremely slow and methodical d-shotting I was shocked to hook up on a fish. Not a total dink, 1 3/4 ish pound largemouth. Stayed anchored for not another bite in the next hour and a half. Finally pulled up and made a short move to a steep rock wall with large rock on it. Picked up a nice little smallie about the same size as my first fish. No ore bites for awhile so I drove around with the graph on and found a sweet spot that I didn't know about and marked fish on it. Threw back on one of the arches and nailed this pretty little 2 pound smallie. Fished till dusk for a couple more bites with no more landed. It was painfully slow but I had a good time. 10 of the 20 tournament boats blanked and there was only one limit weighed in, so I felt like I did pretty good. Hopefully the bite will get going on our lakes soon. Right now the Cal Delta is hot. One tournament took 41 pounds to win this weekend. So hopefully I will be able to call in sick and go get on some river fish this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
