Took the boat out this Saturday because it was the first time in weeks that it has not been raining down here in central Alabama. I mainly fish rivers here in Bama. I fish the river a lot, and most of the time have good success.
I launched at sunrise and spent the entire day on the water.
Here were my conditions:
Water Temp 63-64 degrees
Water was stained
Water was a little high
A little wind
A lot of sun
I fished slews, I fished rocks, I fished grass, I fished channels, I fished bridges, I fished creek mouths, I fished cypress tree roots, I fished docks, and I fished main river laydowns.
Through out the day I threw everything imaginable at them. From a jig, to a deep diving crankbait, to a Carolina rig. Finally, around 3pm I got onto a pattern! Only took 8 hours!
They were hitting finesse spinnerbaits fished slow over wood. I only threw the spinnerbait because it was the last thing left in my boat that I had not thrown. Why on earth did it work? With there not being much wind and having blue bird skies this goes against everything I was taught and have read on when to fish a spinnerbait.
Can someone please enlighten me because I am beyond confused on why this worked
Thanks,
Fishblitzer
