Recollected on Sunday the 8th
I didn't take any pictures.
6:45-9:00AM GOMH SW NE
Conditions: 58-70, wind out of the South, mostly sunny
I got a late start due to not waking up to my alarm. I was briefly alone and got one jumpin' bullhead before another fisherman showed up. I missed a couple of bites and had a jumper jump me off on THE Jig and a minnow. Another guy showed up and the original guy left. I went to the North side to see if I might toad up a dogfish. I got one small jumper and had a toothy strike at it, no sign of any dogs. I left and went to Bear Trax to buy more minnows as after last night's trip I was starting to run low.
8:15-10:00PM GOMH SE
Conditions: Hot day but turned cooler by the time I headed out, Became very windy out of the NW, mostly sunny turning mostly cloudy and even had a brief sprinkle.
When I went to put the minnows in the car I discovered that practically all the minnows I bought were dead. Must have been thermal shock maybe. Not happy about it. When I arrived at the GOMH nobody was fishing on the SE side so that is where I went. One guy was fishing on the SW side and he hadn't gotten anything. I started out by getting rid of the dead minnows. Then I started throwing the Swim Shad. I quickly hooked up with a big jumper that jumped and got off. I didn't realize how big until I saw it. Easily a 4lb class fish, maybe even a 5. I cast out again and quickly hooked up with a small toothy. I got another small toothy casting towards the bridge and the guy across the way got a fairly nice toothy. A bullhead fishermen started casting off the bridge. It got dark enough so I switched to the lighted bobber. The guy on the other side left and the bullhead fishermen left. A guy and a lady dangled a line straight down off the bridge. I could here fisherman on the North side catching some kind of fish. The wind really started to howl. The guy on the bridge caught a really nice golden bullhead. I didn't have a strike and left at 10PM.
