Sore Thumbs

Great report:-)

Me too. Caught several in that dirty water this morning on a red painted wart and missed a good one on a black jig. Best fish was 2-2/12 lbr. Had a fun day. Got one fish that wasn't in stained water on a dark green wart. I think im becoming a stained water lover. Lots of debris in aunts, but clears up by the mouth.

Reminds me of a time I saw a Racoon. I caught a fish and threw it on the bank and he dove on top of it and started eating it immediately. Pretty cool stuff.

Fishing the rock tommorow just wondering what area of the lake to fish? Thinking of putting in at Aunts and working that area to KC. Any thought?

Champ said it all. That is the only answer. Those pigs eat everything in site.

Was it the way he was fishing? A rig deep? Jerkbait on points? I'm guessing it was a deep pattern.

Suggs was catching some early spawning smallies in the FLW. I think they started moving up sat or sunday. It is almost here if not already.

I like watching the guys with the open face reels upside down and reeling backwards. They still kick my butt when it comes to white bass.

I bet there is more to that story. I don't think he meant it that way (Christie that is)You are probably right. He seems like a good dude.

It would be hard to pay $750 to be a co angler and have your pro tell you that you will not be catching anything. Be tempted to tell him that he will be netting his own fish that day cuz I would be in the back taking notes teying to get something out of the deal.

True.

Tommorow might be the best day for those guys to catch em. Supposed to be blue bird skies this weekend. Which might help those deep clear water guys. You never know. Someone will find em. All of them are sayin that the spawn will not be a factor. The fish arent ready quite yet.

That look like a striper to me too.

I love Invizx when it is warm outside. It seems to break very easily in the winter. Has any body else had that problem?

I would do almost anything to live on the lake or have a lake house. I could tolerate something like that for a few days when the rest of the year is bliss. I thought those guys donated fish to some charity? Surely they dont just dump them.

By natural walk there were males and females. Big water there it was hard to stay on em. I think u will be fine til this weekend or next week. Did anyone see that Tahoe buried? The water is rising and that rig will be under after this rain thats comin.

Bull Shoals would be a great place for that event. Not near as many people live on the that lake.

Thats good to hear. That means they can run all the way up to there now.

This is the 5.4 that i caught. I know i look like a wuss wearing those gloves but she was it the livewell and didn't want to come out. I just downloaded app so I can start putting photos on here.

Went white bass fishing in the morning at war eagle and caught 2 whites. 1 male 1 fat female. Mixed in a few small bass. Left river to rake my partner back to town and hit Prairie Creek about 2:00. Ramp was packed full of FLW guys as expected. Really struggled and thought about leaving at 4:00. Made one more stop in a main lake pocket and caught around 10 bass and 2 walleye. One of the walleyes went 5.4 lbs a PB. After i left that pocket didn't get a bite. Man was there a lot of traffic out there! All in all a good day. Water temps as high as 60 but 56-58 was the norm. Caught all fish on jerkbait or a wiggle wart.

They are about 2 miles up river from there too. Went way up and found nothing. Water temp was as high as 58.1. Lots of boats in war eagle today. Flw pros, Castmasters tourney and a bunch of white bass and crappie hunters. Not a lot of catching going on.

Leatherwood in Eureka is supposed to be a great crappie and panfish lake.

Last weekend it was 52-54. Found one area with 58. Prairie creek was 52 on tuesday. Im goin to war eagle and white tommorow i will let u know.

Awesome. Beaver can make mouse of men. You guys did a great job.

Not sure u are gonna get too far if u put in at twin unless u have a canoe.
