[#000080][size 2]We got up to Soldier Creek about 8am. By 8:30 we were in the "Narrows" fighting our way through a cloud bank. We stopped and fished in an unfamilar place and started catching about 5 mins later. We only caught about 25 fish for the day, yet the smallest was 18".[/size][/#000080]
[#000080][size 2] My buddy and I were throwing pointer 78 jerkbaits. The biggest was an 24" at 5.1lbs. We did get 15 fish over 20". Only 1 fish was caught on a grub tipped with a worm. I forgot my casting net at,doh! [/size][/#000080]
[#000080][size 2] We started in the Narrows then went over by Aspen Grove marina. Somebody the other said the fishing was good over there. Then we crossed the bay just about a mile and half south of Soldier Creek marina, we worked the bank almost into the marina. We bypassed the marina and went up pass the boat docks into the northern most cove.[/size][/#000080]
[#000080][size 2] All in all, It was a quality day. We are used to alot high numbers this time of year. But, ya just can't beat size! We use to drift troll grubs until last year. Now, we fish Strawberry bass style. Smaller numbers in fish, but we are nailing the big'uns! I even caught a "Cutthroatasarus"(big fish) on a hugh craw shadrap. [/size][/#000080]
[#000080][size 2] Air temperature was 76 degrees at 5pm. Water was 50-53 degrees. I believe the moon and the warm weather moved alot fish back into deeper. Beauitful day. [/size][/#000080]
