<br /> Spence and I got on the water at 8 or so this morning. <br /> Started the day off very very slow, didnt catch a fish (or even have a bite) in the first 30 minutes. That was being on a drop off I usually load the boat with fish early on in the morning. Finally gave up on it and started t-rigging and shakey heading the trees and banks. Over the next hour Spence and I boated 2 small LM and a spot. <br /> Decided we werent doing much there and headed up the lake a good ways. Nothing much going on over the next 30 minutes. <br /> Then finally found the fish after a good two hours of looking. Just one small place where the fish were holding really tight to the bank. Started off with a nice LM that went 3#. About 20 minutes later Spencer gets a hit, sets the hook and the line breaks. He said it felt like a good sized fish... flipped the dropshot where he had it, next thing I know I&#39;m pulling up another good fish. This time, a spot thats going 3-3.5lbs. <br /> Spencer boats the next keeper after a while, another largemouth.... Then another few minutes go by, I boat another keeper largemouth. All fish came in the same spot, out of 1-2FTOW... we also boated one more small spot there and a few small largemouth in between. <br /> Gave up on that spot after fishing it a good two hours, getting no more action from the fish. Made the move to a creek, fished our way up and down it for a good while. Boated several more largemouth and 2 crappie. <br /> We got off the water around 2:30 this afternoon. The bite wasnt anything special but it was worth it catching a few good sized fish.<br /> Had a total of 4 keeper bass. 11 largemouth, 3 spots emoScratch 2 unusual for us crappie and a little google eye to boot. emoTongue Very unusual day for us LOL. Usually its only spots, but had more largemouth than spots today and 2 crappie... shoot I hardly ever see a crappie while bass fishing Parksville emoUp
<br /> But we had a great time... the 4 keepers would&#39;ve gone about 11lbs. We just couldn&#39;t get that last keeper. But still thats a great bag for Parksville even with 5 keepers. <br /> Spencer treated me with some good lunch at the Ocoee Dam Deli when we got off, thats my first time there and it was some good emoHungry Thanks Spence! <br /> Also, we caught fish on 4 different baits, t-rigs, shakeyheads, dropshots, and the good ol toad. <br /> Water temps were around 83-84F out on the main lake.<br /> Thats all for now, be safe on the water... cant wait for Fall emoToast <br />
