Percy Priest 8-27-10

Why don't I learn. 2010 has not been my year for catching fish. If not for Lake Fork I would have no good fish (4-6 lbs) this year. It was not to be yesterday at Priest. I was on the lake at 5:30 not quite safe light but off I went to Spring Creek. Caught 3 dinks before the sun came up. Then went fishless for the next couple of hours. Finally caught a 2.5 lb on a jig. Another couple of hours go by until I caught a 3/4 lb crappie. Not another fish until I came off the lake at 2:30. Fished from Spring Creek up to Bryant Creek and behind the island near 4 corners and lots of spots in between. Did not see a single school of fish, any kind, surfacing. I really expected to see schools up at the confluence of Spring, West Fork and Stone river. I heard a report that there are schools of bass and hybrids coming up at Long Hunter early but of course I put in at Stewart's Creek. Oh well. I will keep trying.
