Fishing Report 6-7-09

[sandmannd]

Was on the river this morning. Started out pretty brutal.  We boated one 14" eye in the first three hours!! We rigged, jigged and did it some more. About two hours in we started handlining with cranks. We went from Pool three in Prescott all the way up to the Bluffs and didn't even mark any fish.  Got a call from River Dan and he told me where he found them yesterday. We went over those spots for a while and couldn't mark one fish. I've been on the river a long time and I've never had where I couldn't even mark fish. 

We went up to one of my tried and true spots and I marked a few. We started riggin' there and low and behold we ended the day with six eyes in the boat (only one keeper though), Five Smallies and two rock bass. Turned out to be a decent day of fishing, but man it took a while to find them and many, many spots that normally produce that didn't to day. 

Key thing today was to move a lot until we could mark some. If they didn't bite within 15 minutes, move on. Leeches on red hooked lindy's were the ticket today. Couldn't buy a bite on minnows or any color hook but the red.
