Cloudy15 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Get yourself a couple of glow in the dark Little Cleo's, a good strong flashlight and hit the channel. Hit the Cleo with the flashlight for ten seconds and cast and retrieve. Husky Jerk or even a Flatfish should entice a bite. All that said, be sure that your equipment is in top shape, cause after all that time fishin and limited catchin, I'd sure hate to see you get spooled when a spotted carp grabs that Cleo. Definitely a learning experience the first time that happens! LOL HH I have pictured myself running to the end the pier to avoid being spooled. I am pretty sure I have one of the glow in the dark cleo's around somewhere. Sounds like a need to spend some time fishing a little higher up in the water column as well. Two rods it is, next time.

Cloudy15 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 have you had any luck i am thinking of trying there tonight I went the last two nights around 12:00 am, and once last week. Considering going every night until I catch something. Been drop shotting mostly, tossed a spoon around last night, might try a big jerk bait tonight.

fishindevil Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Like I said do not give up and wait for the bait to come in should be in the next few weeks !! And fish it right into the late fall/ early winter ..... With what I said in the above post Even cast a xrap ghost color jerkbait and a few various cranks both floating and medium divers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what I said in the above post Even cast a xrap ghost color jerkbait and a few various cranks both floating and medium divers No quit is this dog, I need to catch something in the Channel, even if its just a perch. What do you think about this idea? I have heard of people drop shotting for suspended small mouth in the fall with the bait well off the bottom. I was thinking of trying to mimic this technique by using a float with the drop shop setup to keep my bait vertical. Problem tho, how will I cast with ten ft of line. Anyways as we get deeper into fall, I thought I should be slowing down my presentation to a crawl ??? Again thanks for the pointers and encouragement, I will catch something:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Problem tho, how will I cast with ten ft of line. A slip float may solve that problem. If you are near the lake end of the channel the waves may add a little action to the presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Fished a lot there back 20 - 35 years ago. Found walking along channel from north - south - north while pulling a RattlinRap or curly tail jig right tight to metal side or bank produced small bass. Needed to be tipped with worm always. Get some worms. Can always get a few bullhead by hook/worm and a few splitshot thrown out there 'til you get a bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure they have the part you are talking about fenced in and covered with no trespassing signs. not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bacon Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I fished the channel for a few minutes today. I caught a bull head. Not the fish that I was expecting to catch on a Rattlin Spot; but, then again, I caught one on a Jitterbug once. I probably should have stayed in the channel because I didn't get anything in the bay.
