Jared and I fished DH yesterday from 8:30am until 4:00pm. We caught and released a mix of 42 Largemouth-Smallmouth and Spots. We put in at Sun Set Marina and ran up river which had great color to several pockets and channel swings. When we found 56-57 degree water we started there. We started throwing crankbaits-chatterbaits and spinnerbaits with only a few hits. We switched over to a shaky head and at that point it was on. I was using the Crush City 6 inch Sprayed Grass Janitor www.rapala.com, tHE Janitor is designed to be rigged in multiple ways from Texas rig-Shaky Head-Neko Rigged and more. It’s Infused with Color-Salt-and scent this is just a great worm. It also has great tail action and the back ribs helps hide the hook point extremely well. Sufix 10lb Yellow Braid and a 8lb Sufix Fluorocarbon leader www.sufix.com. I can’t post all the pictures so below are 6 of our best of 42-Thanks for visiting my site.

Ken and I fished CH for 6 hours today and the ones posted was our best. We also had several smaller fish as well. Everything on soft plastics and either a shaky head or a VMC Finesse Weedless Jig. W tried several different swims baits and crankbaits with no takers. More Later this week if all go’s well

I fished Woods yesterday with long time friend and a great young fisherman Jared Hollingsworth, I made a early mistake in the direction I took us on the lake and it cost us several hours. It wasn’t until late in the afternoon that we found the ones that you see below. We had 8 bites in a hour. . We put 6 in the boat and both lost one. The fish were i n(3-4 feet) 52 degree water.

This is just a test post

Just a FYI. My site is going to look a little different for a while. My original site was constructed in 2007-19 years ago. It contained literally 1000’s of fish pictures from the trips that I had with clients and friends through the years. Those pictures WILL NOT be able to be viewed until we can figure out how to transfer them and still comply with the hosting services guidelines, You will be able to see NEW PIC beginning with my next trips. Thank you for visiting my site and we will work through the change as we go. Rick

I have a new computer that I just pick up yesterday, I’m  trouble uploading pictures to my web site  They transferred all of my data BUT it appears that the program for uploading pictures didn`t   Hopefully I can get it straightened out soon    If not I will have to contact my web master for help    I haven`t stopped fishing  just delayed in posting  Thanks Rick 

Ken and I fished OH for 3 1/2 hours today to check out some work that he had done on his motor. Truthfully we had 1 area that gave up the fish that you see above-All on a Luhr-Jensen Crystal Red Speed Trap.  www.luhrjensen.com You can see from the pictures above they engulfed it. Water temp was 46 degrees and the fish were in  2-3 feet of water. Thats always been typical for OH for as long as I can remember. Shallow fish Not just in warm water but cold water as well.  Are there deep water FFS fish “sure” but there is alway an abundance of shallow water fish as well. I know I harp on this but it’s a good idea to have a Rapala Red Craw DT6 www.rapala.com and a Red Luhr-Jensen Speed Trap tied on in the winter months.  Everything caught on Sufix 8lb Blue ProMix Mono www.sufix.com .
