Finally !
Saturday morning I took my son and a friend out for a half day on the Cal
River/Lake Mich. (classic disaster site) and we smacked em. We had several
fish in the 3-4 range and from the locks all the way up to the big pond
where the quality is usually better. In less than three hours of fishing we
had 20 nice fish. I had two 3 lb + fish, but the fish of the day was lost
at the boat when our friend Clint tried to lift her into the boat on 6 lb.
test. (I think I forgot to tell this beginner it was 6lb. test <g>.) He lost
a nice 4 lb. plus fish. We caught several fish deep in the channels counting
down tube jigs into 10-15 ft. of water. Most however came off of weed beds.
Any place there were weeds there were fish. Great morning, but had to end
short since we all had afternoon engagements. It's been a very slow spring
here so the agressive fish were a nice late spring welcome.

| One large and all smallies above the locks. Nope I've never tried dragging a
tube? Is there something about that on your site?

| Joshuall, nothing better when you are pre-fishing. Especially when you
are alone. Dragging a tube is just that, drop a tube over the side or
cast it out a bit and let it drag across the bottom. I took my wife out
a little while back, and she didn't want to fish, just read a book. SO
i put a rod back by her with a tube on it dragging, including shorts, we
landed 20 fish on the dragging tube. Now whenever I am covering a large area I drag a tube (on Warrens
suggestion) while I am casting another bait. Chris |
