Two days ago I headed to a local gravel pit to try my luck. This particular area has two small lakes separated by a land bridge...one lake is connected by a channel to a large river. Heavy rains caused the water to raise in the lake connected to the river and flow over the land bridge via a heavy current into the second lake.

I fished for an hour using  a black yamamoto twin tailed hula grub but didn't have any luck. I noticed The rising water had resulted in stained water and searched my bag for something with a  little more color or flash.  Unfortunately I did not anticipate the stained water and only had natural colored senkos and hula grubs with me....except one pack of 4" neon green worms. I was now facing a dilemma because the lure I had with the brighter color I wanted had to small of a profile for the muddy water. I ended up getting creative and adding both the 4" neon worm and the black hula grub to a 1/4 jig head.

The first cast I got a nice bite and landed a nice keeper fish. Three out of the four next casts  I landed a nice 14-15" fish right out of the heavy current caused by the rising water and breaching of this land bridge ...the same spot I had been fishing and not getting any bites with the black hula grub.

With a little more confidence in my new lure I fished the edges of the current and an eddy and proceeded to catch 22 fish in two hours all in a 30 yard area. Every fish was over 14" and five where over 18". The biggest was a 21" fat one...I lost two fish and one of them I think was bigger then any of the others...it looked and felt bigger then the 21" fat female I caught 15 min prior.

I tried the same spot the next day and only caught two dinks.

I guess I learned timing is every thing and color matters. I just thought I would share this story because I have never caught so many nice  fish in such a short time....and I thought the change in color and addition of a worm to my jig  that brought on the bite was kind of interesting.

Congrats! Sure feels good to get in to 'em. What state are you in?

Now there's a day of fishing! Sounds like your getting 'em figured out. 8-)

When you went back the next day were you trying to duplicate everything from the previous day or did you get to the point of changing things up?  How about weather, was it the same day to day?

Awesome!!
