Fishing continues to improve on the southside. I hit the lake twice this week and fished mostly from Flat Creek down to the dam. All the guides are catching fish on shallow bottoms, maybe 40-60 ft to start the day, but then note the fish move out to deeper water as the day wears on. I prefer the deep fish as these tend to be bigger so I've been fishing mid morning on through the day. This yielded fish in the 80 ft + water which I've been able to troll effectively. However, I'm not seeing any big schools yet so jigging has not been productive. Besides one fish Rick got on a sideways cast spoon out over the channel, there hasn't been much jigging to do. Hopefully that will change shortly.

Bluefish anyone?

Check out these decent 2-3 lb Bluefish all caught by a college sized "Jumbo".

Thursday, Bori and Jill hit the ocean for some summertime Coho Trolling. Now I have to say, based on what Bori is wearing, I find it hard to believe it's "summertime" up in Oregon but I guess he is a little north of us here in Georgia…

Rick and I Slay'em!

Rick and I had a decent Thursday afternoon landing over 15 fish in about 6 hours. We could have caught more but I was doing a lot of "experimenting" which basically means "not catching fish". I like to do this when we get on a consistent pattern that's working; use one rod to get the bite and the other to try things you thought might work but need to know the fish are biting to test your theory. Well, I got to test a lot of "theories" Thursday afternoon and for the most part, none of them panned out. Fortunately I was able to do well jigging and boated a couple including this solid 12 lb'er.

Got out for a quick trip up the lake after hearing about some awesome action early this morning. Turns out all the action was in the morning; we didn't do well but it was a nice day to be on the water and in the end, getting to watch Rick commit another "classic moment" is what days like this are all about…
