Good question, where is my report. I typed for a half hour, it was a novel, and then spell checked it then posted it and now its gone!!!!! Dang
Here's the abreviated story. Met up with CBR, O4T, tlspyder and others at the ladders. Got there late because of traffic but made it safely across the lake in the dark. Fishing wasn't catching at the ladders for 2 hours and not much better for everyone else. Headed back across lake to area around marina that usually holds fish. Fished 25 feet deep, used submersible light, fish swimming around light all night but couldn't get to bite. Got two suspended under lighted bobber (one on minnow, one on worm). About 2:00 AM started using white with pepper flake tube jig with worm and filled with smelly jelly jigged just off the bottom. That was the ticket. Caught 15 in the next 2 hours. About 4:00 AM it slowed down so we slept til 7:00 AM and then fished for one more hour (3 more fish) before the thunder, lightning, rain, and wind blew us off the lake. All fish were slot cutts. Fun night. We could almost net the fish when they would come in and stare at the submersible light. Very fun to watch.
