"Me and another fella are looking for sauger and white bass - just a quick afternoon outing. "First time when?" I asked as we moved along. Who could resist? So, crack cameraman and In-Fisherman TV Director and Producer James Lindner and I are riding upriver with Mike Kohler en route to a typical tailwater area to shoot a show segment. Then after several trips following the fish 50 yards upriver, then downriver after twenty minutes of wondering, Will the hook hold? Will that thin line frazzle or fray? The fish moves the scales to 27 pounds. Then - he paused - Then - he paused again, to add suspense to the scenario.
A 'won't-move' fish," they say in their best TV-fishing-show lingo.īut it's a "won't-move" fish for only a moment, he continued. Their jigs begin to sweep up the lip - Whomp! "Son, good fish. Hooks register along the lip of the washout hole in 32, then 31, 30, 29, 28 feet of water, the tailout lip of the washout hole. They carefully slip along the deep breakline, lifting and dropping their jigs a foot at a time on a tight line. The jigs ride perfectly vertical on 8-pound-test line below the boat through the "slacker" water along the bottom of the washout hole, near the back edge of the hole - the tailout area - where it breaks quickly from 35 feet deep up onto the channel shelf in 25 feet. "'K right," he continued, making the necessary correction, as in: They lower their bowmount and begin to deftly slip with the current as they drop 1/2- or 3/4-ounce leadhead jigs tipped with 3- to 4-inch minnows into 40 feet of water. Besides, I've always wanted to use deftly in print. Make that deftly slip, I said, interrupting him.
