Sunday 2/8/15 Alley, West Of The River

[geo g]

Sunday 2/8/15, MM39 North side, 7:00 - 1:00, wind 10-15 East, partly cloudy, water clear, W/T 67*, water level down a little.

 

Went out today with Jim Seachrist.  Jim went in his boat and I went in mine.  We ran to the end and fished back west to the ramps.  I started with a u-vibe and caught a few early.  Things were looking good but for some reason when the sun came up things just died.  We went several hours with just an occasional bite.  Jim left at 11:00 and around 11:30 things got crazy again.  From 11:30 to 1:00 the bite was constant but you had to be back in the pads.  Caught more the last hour then the first 4 hours together.   That's fishing for yah!!!!

 

We threw a variety of plastics from, u-tails, flukes, trick worms, frogs, creature baits, stick-o's, lizards, and centipedes.  I ended up with 35 caught, 2.5 was the biggest.  Jim caught a few nice ones also.  It was another relaxing, fun day, but a strange day.

Yeah.. sporadic feeding can leave you scratching your head. Fortunately you stayed a little while longer to catch the next feeding flurry.

Thanks for the report! I hit up the miami river on the north side the other day. The day it rained real bad and the front was rolling in. Only fished that afternoon. My plan was to fish the canals along the alley looking for mats but the wind was to bad. The miami river canal had less wind and was much more manageable. Started right at the beginning were it curves to the right. Flipped the whole time, same set-up as before. The bite was slow but the fish were a tad bit bigger then the other day, 1 1/2-2 lbs instead of under 1lb. Most looked to be prespawn females to, caught around ten. A lot of the bites occurred where the shore line breaks to allow the flow of water through. Real far in the reeds where there was floating mats got the most bites. Lost a few good bites in the thick stuff to, never saw them, so not sure if they were bass. Caught a few mudfish in the mix to.
