Had a pleasure fishing with overthelimit today.... Made the run down to OH to pop my cherry on the spring trolling bite. Ran spoons and meat heaps of times... but the boat is always on the river this time of year and I miss out..
Launched out of the General Store... Which I wouldn't recommend. Was headed to wild wings but I got suckered in by the $5 launch sign...
That only cost me $75 in the long run...
Dont use the East ramp...(furthest from the drive and the one you would logically use) Didnt have any problem pulling out on the West side.
They did have a good selection of divers at a decent prices.... And beer... So they have that going!
Heard some scuttlebutt at the bait shop that the fish were right off the point in tight.
Sure enough, (we fished banker hrs today) there was a pack to the west a couple miles. We ran upwind and furthest west to set up on a downwind troll with the big boards and divers in about 13FOW.
About 10 min after getting set up and I start to look around it dawns on me... Everybody is jigging. Well, crap.
We washed lures for the next 2 1/2 hrs running east and had a couple knock offs and landed about a 3# smallie. Woof. Did see some nets fly though so theres fish around.
Pulled gear and ran out to the west side of cone reef and redeployed... Popped the first fish within 15 min! Made a couple passes around the jiggers on the reef and hit a couple more fish. Hit a waypoint and we picked away at em to end up with a two man ticket... Sadly, there was 3 of us fishing!
We pulled 4 of em within about 200' of each other.
Hot colors were a custom DDHJ in purple... Blue thunderstick deep diver... Blk/gold P10 with a 1oz snap weight... Firetiger took a couple hits as well.
Even picked one up on a harness, white/green off the corner. Ran anywhere from 60-125 back...1.1-1.7mph.
Had a big pack jigging about half a mile west of cone in the dirty water.. seen some nets fly, but we drew a blank in a 3/4 mile troll.
Biggest 2 were 29" and spawned out....
Be great if every day was this nice! Got the first sunburn of the year too!
Good luck to all the weekend warriors... Sure it will be a zoo!
