Spruce Hybrids 10/11

[15FOOTER]

Big fishy and I got on the water later than we wanted to at around 8:15. Spruce Run has to be between 20-40ft lower. Launched the boat from the right of the ramp (actually pretty easy). We slow trolled large herring and x-large shiners from Lebanon Bait. Had great marks of bait balls and fish on them between 15-20ft right in the launch cove area w/no takers. Explored the rest of the lake in bad wind with drenching white caps caught 1 13" hybrid. Decided to run back to the ramp area. At 1:30pm they turned on.We got 5 all 3-4lbers no monsters. With 2 double hook ups. Also missed two run offs. All fish at 10-15 ft water over 20ft. water temp was 60.9 I gave a really detailed report so Bigfishy is gonna yell..watch lol. If anyone is successfull w/ this info please try to release some of them!!
Good luck

Nice report. I got into a few Hybrids myself last night too, not trolling, just livelined drifting them. Nothing better than one of these badboys ripping drag .

+1. Persistence is the great equalizer!

Nice job on finding them.

Sometimes the amount of fish is not as important as the fishing. I enjoy fishing SR, I have fished it off and on sense it was built, I even use to go there before it was built. It's a pleasant place to fish. I also like to drift herring rather than trolling. It may be more productive to fish LH or to troll SR. But for me I just enjoy SR even when I don't catch as many fish. Like Bigfishy said, if you put your time in you will find fish, there or just about anyplace you enjoy fishing.
