Louie B, Carters Lake, Spots and Slime Ball, 03.25.10, Pastor Rick Shoop - FishNews - 03-27-2010
Out today with Pastor Rick Shoop from Woodstock, GA. This was my 2nd trip with Rick since January. Rick loves to fish almost as much as I do LOL. We were on windy/wet Carters today trying to catch a big spot or two. Fishing is still slow here in North GA, the water temperature has finally got above 50 as we were 49-51 today. We fished from 8:30-3:00 and boated around a dozen spots and one slime ball. We fished a variety of baits today, jig head worms, jerkbaits, fish heads, crankbaits, and even a carolina rig, but most of the fish fell victim to the jerkbait. The slime ball was lost out in open water running with spots and it also bit a jerkbait. Our best 5 today weighed 13-14lbs, the big fish was the slime ball which was just over 4lbs. Rick also caught a spotted bass over 3lbs and we had a handful of solid 2-2 1/2lb fish to finish out our limit. We had a few rain showers that passed through but all in all the weather was nice. We pulled in the marina to take pics, so the lighting isn&#39;t great.<br /><br />Great day with great company, thanks again for the trip Rick always enjoy fishing with you buddy. I&#39;m gonna go wash out my livewell LOL.<br /><br />LB
