Fishing On the Slow Side Tonight

7:20-9:50PM SPSI, E of GOMH, S SPRO to SW INT, NE INT PT

68-72℉, Hazy, 0-2mph SE
 

Late start because I was moving like a turtle after I got up this afternoon. I stopped at SPSI first. No, go on top and on a Chatter. The last call was a TurboFattyZ. I had a "come to Jesus" talk with myself before throwing the TF; I have been missing almost all my bites on this lure. I caught my biggest bass of the night on the first cast. I also got a small pike. 

Next, I headed to the 16"Hole, but it was dead there. After 10 minutes, I had enough and headed for Sully, hoping to find a school in the SPRO rice. That did not happen, not even a lone wolf.  I had a pike attack a couple of times. I had a good pair of blow-ups from the same fish at pike point, but they didn't hook up. Did get a couple of pike. I finally got into a few bass in the reeds. I lost the only one that bit that was over 2 lbs as I was boat-flipping it. Had a few fish dog me in the reeds. Hit NE INT and SPSI quickly to no avail. 

There were a couple of kayakers fishing the INT boat channel. The one was a woman who talked loudly. Apparently, she caught a walleye and quite a few pike. She called her mom, who was babysitting the kids, to find out what the walleye regs were. She thought she was on Platte, but they were in Sullivan.

I started at the end of the GOMH West Wall Point at the Intersection. I lost a good bass on my second cast when it buried into the rice. I worked my way down the NSPRO getting a 14" when I pitched into an open pocket about 35 feet down. Then it got tough. I think I missed one bite on my way West. At the final boat channel, I quickly worked my way back on the SSPRO missing one bite on the Sprinker when I went to turn the troller.  I decided to give GOMH West Wall a shot because that is where I got my bite.  I was quickly rewarded with a couple of 16-inchers in the first 20 feet beyond the point. I caught a 15-inch at the boat channel mouth. I headed for Platte around 7:45PM or so. It was now calm out. I headed to 6lb Flat. Nothing was going on around me. Something did get trucked out on the point and way out on the flat. I decided to not chase those fish and make a quick stop at Big Rice Point. I got 3 bass (15.5,13,14)there on the Ish's Phat (Blue).  I then went into the cut and ended up working my way to the Access Across Cane.  I had a 14.5" truck the Sparrow right away at the rice line. I then had a fish dog me in the rice by the pads. Couldn't get the fish to take a craw tube or jig. As I worked my way toward the cane I had a 14-incher crush me on a long cast. At 8:40 I was throwing my last cast along the cane when I might have had a hit but thought my frog was sitting elsewhere. It was pretty dark by then and wasn't sure. I set the hook and caught vegetation so it must have been a hit. I pitched back to the pocket and my biggest fish of the nigh crushed it. I ended on that note.
