Delaware Ohio ,Alum Creek Lake 1990 April early spring Party cloudy & cold high 40's to mid 50's Fishing the north east shore in a cove, off the main lake, the bottom was gravel and mud with many trees , weeds and old cat-tails surrounding the outer edges. Using live minnows , night crawlers and wax worms. With my shimano cx1000sq ultra light reel and Abu Garcia 400 ultra light rod along with 6 pound line. I would cast my bait by the edge of the cover with a pencil bobber, a small # 6 true turn hook it would not take long before I have a bite the bobber would stand up I knew there was a taker ,I never use any weight when fish for panfish just a hook, bait and bobber this is work real well. On this day the fishing was great I caught many crappies and bluegills. spent the whole day fishing and relaxing what a fishing trip. I have spent many weekend fishing this lake. With the ultra light equipment pan fishing is a lot of fun. |
