Joe Pool is slightly up after nearly a week of rain. A cold front left the sky clear and the wind out of the north - hardly ideal fishing weather. The sunfish started biting at sunup and for two hours the bite was fair. The fish were on beds in about 4 feet of water. At about 8 AM the wind turned to east and the bite went to poor, but I picked up a few more fish. By 10 AM the sun was too hot for this old man, and I packed up and left. I kept 14 small fryers. They were all about 6-7 inch fish. There were no big ones, and I threw back a lot of even smaller fish.

I use a small pair of scissors to cut up 1-2 inch segments of Canadian nightcrawlers. They are fished beneath a slip bobber and a #3 split shot 9 inches above a #8 Aberdeen hook on the end of the line.

Nice fish and report. Good job.
Side Note: I saw in the bass section about a fish kill at Joe Pool. Did you see any dead fish while you were there? Also any information?

It is my understanding that the kill was in one area where there was a lot of nasty run off. I fish at Lynn Creek Marina. The water was stained, but not badly, and there were no dead fish.

I saw a small write up I believe it was on the TPW facebook page. It stated it was minor. Cause was natural.

Thanks Smithaven. Glad it was not a serious lake fish kill.
