Fun day on Palestine 3/8

Had the day off yesterday and was fishing rain or shine. Only one other boat at the ramp, a crappie fisherman, and the only boat I saw for the entire day. Packed some extra safety gear in case I got stranded and hit the water around 11 a.m.





Caught 14 fish for the day, largest 5 lbs 1 oz. Most on hollow belly swimbait, the others on spinner bait. Tried topwater, t rigged worm, suspending baits... not a tap.

Diehard....I love it! Nice fish, btw.

Thanks for sharing. Glad you turned a rainy day into a good day.

Water looks really clear. Surprised you could find water like that on Palestine

Great day, nice fish!

Sweet..

Awesome! Congrats on finding them and not dying! lol

awesome. Love me some Palestine. Looks like flat creek?

Yes, Flat Creek, and the water was surprisingly clear compared to Kickapoo, where I normally fish.


Lots of shad flickering around on top.




Caught this one with 4 inches of line out and tight drag... most exciting fight of the day. Missed several more as I was lifting bait from water.


I remember hearing about the fish having puncture marks on them. Caught several like this.


On a brighter note, someone is selling their place with nice dock.

Cormorants??

I have no idea what is causing it unless it is a flesh eating bacteria. Below is another one caught that day.
