Fishing in the fog 11/15/2011
 

Hit Lake Charles today. Dense fog. Launched and just used the trolling motor. I fished and caught on TTF Gundog Jr. for about an hour, then fished for nothing the next hour. My trolling motor batteries are in good shape. They lasted the whole time. Caught 6 nice Trout and 2 decent Reds. All on topwater. When the bite died, it died.
I didn't know where else to go and didn't want to crank up and run in the fog.

Nice day on the water

nice haul there ray!

check your fuses????? I had the same problem. also had motherboard issues.

Nice catch there Ray

Thanks???

I hear ya ray I didn't hit the water till 8:30 or so fogg was tick tick couldn't imagine what it looked like early!

Nice topwater haul my friend

my bad I read it wrong.... thought your trolling motor died along with the bite. sorry.

Nice catch, a buddy of mine went yesterday afternoon and caught 15, took him 4 hours, said it was slow and only found them wanting to bite in one spot, he fished 5 spots total.

Your Reading Comprehension is worser than mine and that's BAD:rotfl:

haha... was kinda funny cuz he talked about his batteries being great then said... "when the bite died, it died" sooo my first thought was "it" being the trolling motor. :spineyes: i was reading with spineyes.

Last few times I fished up North, the bite started right at daylight, for an hour to hour and a half, then stops. And I mean STOPS. Like someone turned a switch off.

Ray you been hitting up Lake Charles??? or near the barrier? when you say north which do you mean?

Great looking k-nife Ray, try to take care of it better than the last one.;)

Prien and Lake Charles area. First light, it is on up there...

Raymond. That is my back up knife. Lithium Ion cordless. Other one is the green and yellow one like I broked when I fished with you. Glad it broked, you had to clean all the fishes. LOL

Nice catch Ray..........

have not tried in early am, fished the area last sat, 2 days after the las front. started at 10am on a strong outgoing tide and the bite was on till the tide was in slack mode, will fish this sat again and hoping for the same results, will post as soon as I find out.

I don't fish weekends. I work offshore 2 weeks and when I am home, my wife works weekdays. So only time we really got to spend together is weekends.

And on weekends, boaters and other fishermen are not too helpful. They see you pull in a fish and pull in on you. Even if it is the only fish you caught all day. They pull in on you and screw up your fishing.

I have seen, TWICE, aluminum boats that have tiller drive or side console pull in on big motor, screw up my fishing, then leave cause they didn't catch anything. They never got out of their seats in the back. These boats have a $1000 trolling motor on the front. Waste of money. They don't use it.

Prien area is the worst for this. Everyone fishes on weekends and Prien is very small area.

agreed 100%... most the places i fish are away from the common prien boaters. couple spots are small holes soo you gotta be at the right spot to catch fish. plus for me bc i usually set up to where i am the only one who can get to them. some dont know and others dont care. my biggest problem has always been someone pulling up on my drift. dont run up 50 yards in front of me and cut my drift short. know the winds or hop behind me. i WONT fish certain areas if i see boats on em bc they are drift spots.
