Center Hill Lake - 4-3-10

Not everyone "whacked em" at the Hill Saturday. I fished with Noah Richardson on a cool, rainy morning. Noah was breaking in a new motor this day and was very pleased with its performance. We fished really hard but just couldn't connect. He caught 2 spots, one nice 1.75 off a river bluff. He then proceeded to show me a technique that I had not seen before, catching 2 large bluegill on a blue and chrome red eye shad. I, in the meantime, got absolutely and totally skunked. Got a lot of bites but could not hook up. However, I am fully confident that I can make a decent showing at our tournament next Saturday at CH. It was a pleasure to fish with Noah and I did learn some things about fishing these deep, rocky lakes.

The water temp was mostly 57-59 but we found one spot that was 53. We did see a tremendous amount of dying shad. Odd because the there has not been a really cold night in a number of days. Someone had suggested the lake was turning over which would have an effect on the shad.
