Had an awesome two days of fishing my Gill hole yesterday with the Trout Magnet. I was using a Bison colored Trout Magnet and 2# test SOS line. When I first arrived I was only catching the occasional fish. Then it occurred to me I had become lazy and was not using my regular twitching method. My method is getting into a cadence that is like a very slow rocking chair. I barely reel the handle while keeping a stiff arm and lower and raise the rod in a very rhythmic...slow.....rocking type method. Once I went back to my old method it was almost a fish on every cast. It was a mixture of shell crackers....Gills, and a few large mouth. The one large mouth put up quite the tussle. The Gills and shell cracker were pulling some drag. I caught well over 6 dozen fish yesterday......and as most know I don't fish on Saturday but did this past Saturday and had a great day also.....catching several dozen. It seems that the shell cracker are on bed...or it appears that way to me. They are very close to shore very shallow. Another fun day....life is good!
Some good shell cracker.
