Skunkville. Population: Me
Fished Hodges yesterday. Was a beautiful morning with heavy fog on the water. My third Wednesday fishing Hodges and my second trip in a row without even a bite. In 3 trips, i’ve only landed 1. Has to be operator error, right? Here’s a pic of EVERYTHING I threw yesterday. You be the judge.

Re: Skunkville. Population: Me
Wow, that is a complete selection. I tend to be more stubborn and stick to about 4-5 different baits...changing colors doesn't count...where were you throwing this collection of baits?

Re: Skunkville. Population: Me
All those options how long did you give each a try for? What I do, not saying have to, start shallow then work out deeper or vise versa. It will happen for you, just keep going.

Re: Skunkville. Population: Me
I kind of did a similar thing out there 2 weeks ago, tried a lot without much action and tried different depths. I think I’ll be going to Cap tomorrow morning, and I’m going to try the opposite and really stick to a few techniques. Just stick to a neko, free rig, etc and hopefully find something to build off of. We’ll see if it works… haha

Re: Skunkville. Population: Me
I work the far bank down to the dam. By then the wind is usually up and I'll ride it down the same bank back to the launch. Will throw a reaction bait and a finesse bait at each point and cove on the way.tomnilll wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 11:58 am Wow, that is a complete selection.

I don't always throw that many baits, but I got 3 new Cashion rods and a couple reels. Wanted to see how everything felt on the new stuff.

Re: Skunkville. Population: Me
That’s just how Hodges is sometimes. The fish you do end up hooking tend to not be dinks at least.
