Furloughed Jocassee Trip

5.13.20

Water high 60's

Hunter got furloughed and came down to fish and golf with me and Nancy.  Fishing was OK.  Not great.  Golf was good for him, horrible for me.

We headed to Jo for some quiet fishing time.

It started relatively slow but after lunch we started figuring out some things and the action picked up.

We started concentrating on sandy knobs in the mid lake and dragging the ned rig and the hulastick down the knob.

Hunter did real good with 3 spots coming to the boat and I did ok with a couple more. I threw the S waver a bunch but could only get one nice largemouth to come take a look but not take the bait.

Overall a nice day on the pond even if Hunter wasn't getting paid.

Jocassee, Slower, But Still A Good Day

5.7.20

Water temp 64
Air started out at 37 degrees, brrr.

Nancy and I headed back up to Jocassee.

A lot cooler than it has been up there but we figured they still may bite on a beautiful day.

While slower Nancy caught this nice largemouth on a copppetruese Ned Rig off a log in Howard Creek.



It was a pretty slow bite.  After lunch I picked up my knock off S Waver and started casting it.  The first fish that followed it was a monster largemouth.  Needless to say, I was hooked.

Kept casting it and finally got blasted by this nice spotted bass.



My first glide bait fish ever.

It continued to make a splash as many times big packs of nice spotted bass followed it back to the boat, but I couldn't entice them to eat.

Gonna have to figure out how to make that happen!
