Air: high 50's
Water: 61 degrees
It had to happen sooner or later.
After spending the last month back and forth in Florida, we finally made it out on Keowee to really fish.
I have been twerking on the rods, reels, boat and electronics. The saltwater experience of the last 9 years really has thrown me for a loop when it comes to rigging for the fresh. Trying to remember how to rig rods and reels, electronics and such for clear water fishing has been a new learning experience again. But, I am making progress.
I told Nancy today was the day to bag our first fish.
We spent about 3 hours this afternoon and had two came to the boat.
One was a squeaker and the other was a very nice spot for Keowee.
I had purchased some of the 3/4 oz tungsten swing jig heads at BPS while in Florida.
You can really use them as a search bait on a lake like Keowee.
Teamed up with a hula grub, you can almost use it as a slow crank bait.
This girl hit the bait as it entered the water and the fight was on. I had forgotten how much those spots bulldog you and loved every minute of the battle.
The weather should be turning to the better from here on out and hopefully we can get dialed in on these fish.
This lake is beautiful, but challenging. I can see bottom at 12 feet yesterday!
