Bank Fishing

Saturday, February 19th, 2011 | Author:

After refurbishing two turkey blinds in preparation for the season, I gobbled down a quick lunch, grabbed an auxiliary rod and reel, hopped on the four wheeler and headed for a blew hole or two.  The first one is actually part of the Garhole that has been cut off by the falling water.  I started off with a Booyah and the fish cooperated so well I never thought about changing.  The fish were all small except for a few. The FOD was a respectable 4 pounds. There were lots of hits and misses and before the day was out I found you could improve on your catching percentage by speeding up the retrieve.  The fish must have thought the Booyah was going to escape. That’s what I call fishing a spinnerbait “Jimmy Houston style”.  He always said if you can’t see your bait you’re fishing it too slow.  I disagree with that generally but today it worked like a charm. By the way Jimmy Houston is not one of my fishing heroes.  He giggles a little too much for me. I ended up catching 31 total which was enough to rough up my thumb.
