Oh Deer! Two More Fishing Oddities — 10 Nov. 2010 — 60 Fish – Stillhouse Hollow






Mrs. Rebecca and I decided we take a “stay-cation” — you know, a vacation where you just stay home and work as hard at the house as you otherwise would when your not there.

Well, we sharply disagreed about what wakeup time should be on a staycation, so I, the early riser, went fishing, while she, the sleep ’til nooner, did not.

I took a quick trip by myself to Stillhouse before we met back up to repaint our front door.

While on the water today, I had two out-of-the-ordinary events happen. First, a nice buck decided he needed to pay we anglers a visit:



I found white bass in a fairly active mood this morning (with a surface temp. of 66.9F) from about 30 minutes after sunrise and until 10:30 am. I caught fish on top at between Areas 110 and 550, primarily sight casting a Cicada, departing this area with 15 whites landed, of which 13 were short. Then, I checked out some deep water haunts as the sun got brighter, and found a bunch of larger white bass at Area 121. I boated exactly 45 fish here including 1 largemouth, 1 drum, 1 short white bass, 41 legal white bass, and this, the second oddity of the day:

A flathead (yellow) catfish, hanging out with a school of white bass in 34 feet of slack water … not a common occurrence.

TALLY = 60 FISH, all caught and released
