Prien 11/11/11
 

Fished Prien area and ship channel. Fish were in the channel again today. FIshed 20 to 30 ft. depths, with Marshworks popping cork and white TKO shrimp with chartruese tail. Caught better than 5 limits on this one lure. Starting to look ragged. Going to chunk it and put another one on. Them thangs are worth buying fo sho. Caught a limit in less than 2 hours. When I was on them alone, they hit. When another boat would pull in, they stopped. Fished the same spot, moved once then moved back. Fish on.
Look for shrimp popping on top of the water in the middle of the channel.
Didn't launch till after 9 am due to the cold. Sun shining, water clean. Great day to be on the water.
Only had to measure 1 Trout, zero throw backs.

Nice!!!

That's what i'm talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll try again. How are y'all fishing artificial with a cork. I've fished with luck with live bait but not artificial. Trying to learn more technics.

poppin cork
 

I always catch em on plastis under a cork just gotta pop it hard make it look real and like there fish feeding on bait right there

Nice catch Ray!

Do you pop it several times than let it sit for a a couple seconds?

pop pop chill pop pip pop bang.......fish on....

I pop it and let sit for about 5 or 6 seconds.
Normally I pop faster, but it don't work right now.
Pop, count to 5, pop. Don't take your eye off the
cork. I lose a few looking around every time I fish.
As soon as you turn back, the cork is gone but
pops back up before you can set the hook.
And stop your boat long before you get to the spot
you wanna fish, then ease in using trolling motor.
Don't run to a spot and stop big motor and think you
are gonna catch right away.

Thanks buddy. One of my problems is I wait till after it comes back up to set the hook. How deep do you fish it?

Usually a 1.5 ft to 2 ft.
As soon as it goes down, Bam. Set it.

impressed
 

I'm new to this website and must say you'll sure seem to be the most co-operative sportsman on the web. I would have to say I have found a new place to hang my hat. Really enjoy the converstions on here and the willingness to help fellow outdoorsman! I normally fish the Vermillion Bay area and ocasionally fish Big Lake. Tight lines and hope to see you on the water.

Thanks buddy. Hopefully I can get out there next weekend.

I am not much of fishing weekends, unless my wife wants to fish.
Too many fishermen see you pull in just 1 fish and they pull in on
you with the main motor. Or get too close with the main motor and
ask if you are catching.

Thanks. I don't really give out good info. I just give out info. on how I do it... :grinpimp:

Fished the same area this morning.
Had my brother-in-law and his kid with me.
Caught 45 by 9:30. Left em still biting.
Caught em on anything you would throw. Think they would have bit on crickets this morning.

I don't have a choice. I work Monday thru Friday and most of the time it's my wife who fishes with me. Unless weewacker is off then we'll fish together.

I saw a yellow Champion pass South, then North while I was in the channel. Had a white power pole on the back. Was that you? I had a tan jacket on. Fishing by myself.

How them trout hold up in the live well? Got on a good bite the other day in the bay, and was considering throwing them in the live well to cull.....wish i did because after we had our 50, we started catching bigger trout that we had to throw back...

Oh, and nice catch!!!

Nice job dere ray ray......

They held up real good. I don't like to use it when the water is warm or hot. Below 70 degrees or so water temps, it works great. When I finished, I drain the water and throw in a bag of ice on top of them. They fillet better when cold.

Yea that was me.
We were finished fishing.
Just riding and looking around a little.
Remember seeing you.
You were putting one in the boat when we passed.

Ray,

That was a really good post. A man could use that and actually catch a fish or two. Thanks!
