Trying to escape the wind, I tried Stillhouse at night. After a breezy day, sure enough, the wind laid down to nothing around 7:30 pm. It stayed calm till 8:30, when a little breeze started to rise. By 9:00 pm the breeze was becoming noticeable. Being as how a small boat at night in choppy water is not much fun, I headed back to the ramp. Good decision, by 10 pm as I was pulling in the driveway, the wind was really up.

As far is the fishing, not much. I put out a green submerged fluorescent, and soon had clouds of shad around it. The fish finder was showing them on the bottom in 20 ft, and shad schooling at 9 ft. But the only bites I got was at 10 ft on char/white slab bandits. Tried blue/white to no avail. Caught 4 dinks in an hour and a half.

The last couple times i went to stillhouse it has been slow from the boat. But cedar knob boat ramp people have been fishing off the boat dock at night and have been cleaning them up. I fish stillhouse all the time since it is close to the house and never have a problem filling the live well usually. I have been having better luck up the river some but nothing like fishing at night during the summer...
