Thought I would tag along with Fisher Dave and Gary, PierBridge today to pick up a meal of gills and crappies from Fisher Daves secret spot.
Now, I’m going to state this right up front. This is a secret spot and please don’t send me emails, private messages or call me, because I’m not telling! It’s the least I can do for the guy that put me on some dandy crappies and gills. The backgrounds in the pictures have all been changed to protect this spot. Can’t be bribed either. Nuff said.
So when we arrived at the Rush Lake Tackle Shop and Resort, we paid our $3. “launch” fee’s and off we went.
Fisher Dave is known for finding bites away from the crowds and today was no exception. There were 8 to 10 houses/portables fishing what looked like a break directly in front of Rush Lake Resort…but we headed away from them.
We set up in 20 feet of water and in very short order we were pulling up some very short perch. Way to go Fisher Dave! With the number of two inch perch along with the occasional 4 to 5 incher, we could have won a European fishing contest!
Thought it was time to move as the bigger crappies and gills didn’t seem to want to move into this area. Fisher Dave moved us over about 75 feet and said…this is the spot. A few minutes later, splash and plop. Nice eater gill laying on the ice next to Fisher Dave. Found’em!
