Chasing Rock Fish: Three Techniques Plus Rare Bonus Catch! (Episode 44)

[@pistolcreek]

Awesome trip, fellas! A buddy from work took me out on Melton Hill a few times and he had a similar setup to yours. Seemed like all those fish in that current were so powerful, even the small ones. Got lucky one trip and landed a 20lb striped. Between fighting the fish and navigating the dam current, sure gives a man a good workout. But the fish in those spots are amazing fun! Looking forward to the next episode.

Thanks! Those stripe do give a work out. That’s my brother’s boat and it’s great for trolling. We’ve used it for trolling nearshore and it does pretty good. Hope to see you out there one day! We’ve done some creek and bank fishing lately but didn’t get much footage. Working on crappie grocery trip from Sunday. Good luck out there!

Also… question…have you ever tried fishing an umbrella rig near a dam like that? I haven’t, but seems like those fish would hammer one of those.

Some buddies and I were talking about that a couple weeks ago. We caught close to probably 100 skipjack. We’d have 3 on at a time and the boat next to us would also have 3 on at the same time. Thought an umbrella rig would be crazy fun. I’ve not used one below the dam, but got into some white bass in Turkey Creek bass fishing and it was a blast.
