Hartwell 1/16/10

Not much to report for saturday, I tried everything I could throw at them from live bait on freelines and downrods to trolling u rigs.

Not even a bite, did miss a good opportunity. While I was getting my u rigs set up I had some very large fish hitting bait on surface not 30 yards from my boat but had brain lock and could not get my casting rod out of rod holder quick enough. I actually was watching them for 2-3 minutes enjoying the show.

I started out at T14 and there were several other boats there, I figured they were in tx so I tried to give them plenty of room but never saw anyone catching anything

Stayed there a couple of hours and then headed to look and finally went up 3 & 20 and pulled baits (drowned baits more like it) for 3 hours and did mark some fish but not a bit. Did try and drop some down on the fish but no bites.

Saw the schooling on other side of 85 bridge when I ws getting set up for u rigs and pulled u rigs almost all the way back to ramp with no bites

Water temp was 46 for the most part, hopefully this warmer weather will pick up back up over 50 since that seems to be the majic number

This was my first day on the water since August and will be my last Saturday until mid April:frowning_face:
