Barren Report 11/14

[buckdroppings]

We were fishing main lake points close to channel and channel walls in the creeks. The fishing was tough. We were starting at 5am and going to 5pm. On Tuesday and Wednesday all the fish came before 1pm. Thursday and Friday were just the opposite most everything came from 1p to 5p. Smallie came out of Peter. Most of the fish kept were kentuckys' with all the biggest being LM.

As far as bait, it seemed like they were taking crawfish colors (black, brown, dark brownish red, orange) in the dirty water and shad colors ( white, chrome) in the clearer stuff. Of course those kys like jumping all over the chartruse or white. All but 4 of the fish were caught on Normans, the others were on a rattle trap.

Did a lot of running trying to find them. With the water being up a bit from years past I think the fish are still scattered. Another week though if they can get that water down to 12 or 13 feet down it shouldn't be difficult to crank 3 and 4lbers throughout the day.

Sorry to hear that you had no success. There were a ton of shad up in Peter and Cook. Good luck.

Hurricane has a mess of shad up there too. Last week the whites and lg were busting them. I'm sure the water is about out of there now though.
