El Cap 10/12
Posted: Sun Oct 13, 2024 4:46 pm
Back at the Cap yesterday. Day started off on the wrong foot with a dead cranking battery. Ran back home and after an hour or so on the charger, headed back to see if I could salvage the day.
Tough sledding all day long but I was also trying to force feed them the swim jig and a crankbait. Got one small 6” fish on about my 3rd cast of the day on the crank and missed a couple other bites. Moved to the front of the lake about 11 or so and locked the swimming in my hand. Missed a couple of bites and managed one 2 1/2lbr. There are a lot of good size fish up shallow feeding on the bluegill but I just couldn’t figure out how to get them to go.
Ended the day with 2 caught and 5 or 6 missed bites
