A day on the Ocmulgee

Made a change to a lighter weight and immediately started getting bites flipping lay downs.

Same lake I fish all the time first smallie I’ve ever caught there. I’ve heard of people catching one very rarely and I have fished it for over 15 years. Made for a good morning went out for 2 hrs and was a cold morning but landed a good one!

Carp or Bass?

AI Analysis - Continuing on Tim's idea, he and I got together and were able to pull some sample sets of Data for Barde's specific need and some other events. Just to give you an idea what is possible from a couple of out of work IT Executive guys with developer resources. 🤡

Finally starting to kick off here in the PNW caught 10 the other day with water temps hovering around 54. Biggest was 4 the others were in the 3 pound range, caught most off the Evo chatterbait with the freeloader as a trailer. Black and blue are a staple for me and white and chartreuse, slowly reeling with occasional stops and finding the patchy grass before the spawning flats haven’t quite moved all the way in yet. Super fun day once I found the pattern and it clicked

Got out again today to a different lake. Not new to the lake but first time using live scope there. Based on looking for them in winter mode, with the water only 53 degrees, I was on them shortly after hitting the water. Some all the way on the bottom, some suspended. Both groups would give chase, but no bites. Tried a few different things with no luck. Im feeling confident in reading the lake and using my sonar. Now I need to crack the nut on tackle and/or technique. Any tips from anyone about how to try new things or change set up systematically until you find what works?

To all my fellow members in the community with Polish heritage, Happy Dyngus Day!
