A couple of friends and I went out with Bates on thursday and caught 2 short fish right of the bat about 6:30am way back up in a creek. A 21" and a 23". Fog lifted, Sun came up, blue bird clear sky and the fish just layed down. Was pulling shiners on down rods and planer boards from 20 to 60 ft. Left the creek and went out to the main lake and fished 3 more hours across from the cut through above Jamestown. Nothing. Oh well had a great time, Bates was a great guy.
Tryed hard but I guess if they don't bite, they don't bite. Can't wait til next time. Probably around the first week of Dec.
