9/10/14 & 9/17/14

9/17/2014

Both days were virtually identical. I started out checking outside Becky and Betty's and ran into Becky's looking around. Nothing inside so I looked again outside around the island, the humps, the point and the condos. Nada.

So I ran down to Walton's and found a bunch of fish on the 10th. I got two at once at 7:30am so I stopped and cast around and jigged for a while and got nothing. These fish were moving. I started trolling again and got another one almost right away. Then they disappeared so I kept hunting around and found them following the channel out to the river but then couldn't get anything to bite. I switched over the the rigs but still didn't get anything to bite. I would see the bunched of fish but they weren't taking.

I found them again on the 17th but didn't get any bites. Both times I then left Walton's and looked around the S-curves but found nothing. So I headed back up lake and stopped around R25 and found a few fish but no biters. So I would work that area from R25 back to the condos and across to the river channel but didn't find any more. Both were kinda short fishing days so I wrapped up a little early.

Things can only get better.

Later Joel
