shark bait

I went out on Wednesday in the Holiday Island area. I threw a spinner bait, square bill and jig - nothing. Only 2 bites on the jig, that I missed. Moved around a bit then found a bunch of shad with bass around them at the mouth of little cuts and coves. I tied on a Ned with a small 6th sense swim bait and started catching them. Had a couple of 16" lm, lots of small spots and a few decent spots here and there. Water temp was 55 starting out and got to 58 by the end of the day. I didn't see any beds either. All the fish caught were in 2 to 10 ft of water. I don't have ffs but it sure would have been cool to see what you saw Bill!

Very nice fish.

There is hydrilla on the dam end of Beaver? Where?

I got out and bank fished in a cove not far from home (henry hollow). I fished several things... shakey head, Ned, chater bait, weightless senko, jig, weightless fluke. The fluke is the only thing I caught anything on and it was only 1, but a good 2 to 3 lbs.

I totallyagree!

Glad you hung in there and are back at it!

I went out last Sundayand fount the bite scattered as well. Caught some nice ones on a square bill and jig. My biggest was a 4 lb on the jig, halfway back in a cove, next to a stump in about 2 ft of water.

Thanks! Wound up not being able to fish this past weekend. I was bummed about that but family comes first.

I wound up not fishing this weekend because I had too much other stuff going on.

I haven't seen any posts lately about what the fish are doing and how they have been caught. I plan on fishing Holiday Island to Eagle Rock on Sunday. Any suggestions? It has been pretty slow on Beaver and I haven't fished Table Rock in a while.

I'm planning on fishing Indian creek on Sunday.

I went out Monday with visiting family member. We got a late start (7:30 AM) and put in at the dam. Fished in Indin creek and caught a few small ones on shakey heads and jigs. Caught more and bigger ones on the jig with a craw trailer. The bite fizzled there so moved up toward north Clifty since I had arranged to tow my neighbors boat from his dock to Sylvan Shores boat ramp. On the way my oil light/alarm came on. Shut it down, waited tried again. Same thing so idled the rest of the way to my neighbors. The oil resevoir on the motor was low but main was quite full. Put oil in the small reservoir, primed it and all was good. Towed my neighbor to the ramp then continued fishing in that area. Didn't do to bad. We caught about 10 or 12 bass. It was a mixed bag of spots, largemouth and smallies. The largest about 2 or 2 1/2 lbs. Headed back to the dam about 2:45. No oil alarm on the way in. Tried to upload images of Zacks fish but woulnt load.

Nice one Quillback.

Wow! Nice barn find!

I'm not going to be able to fish this one either. I will be recovering from a surgery.

I've got some stuff that came up I have to take care of. I'd rather be fishing.

Don't count on bacon chedar brats. I won't be able to fish this one after all.

I am going to have to back out of this one this time. I was looking forward to it since I haven't fished this tournament in few years.

I'll bring cheddar bacon brats, relish, mustard, catsup.

I plan on fishing it.

I was fishing a frog at a pond near my house a few years ago and caught a bullfrog.

Congratulations! You lucked out!

If it warms up a bit I'd like to get out for some bass fishing. As I get older I have turned into somewhat of a fair weather fisher. Anyone know what the water temp has dropped to? I'm guessing mid 50's?

Forgot to say water temp was 64 to 65. Needs to drop about 6 degrees and it will light up those fish!

I put in at Dam Site Park around noon and went to Indian Creek. Didnt go way back. I tried the first couple of coves first.With the breeze blowing I figured I'd try a sb, no luck. Threw a few faster moving baits like a lip less crank bait, a chatter bait and swim jig - nothing. So I decided to go finesse with a chigger craw on a shakey head. I finally got my first fish not far in the cove out in about 10/15 ft of water. I got 3 decent smallmouth between and around docks and missed a couple. Went to next cove and hauled water. Finally decided to go to the very back of Indian. There I caught a largemouth about 2 lbs. Several spotted bass and 2 smallies. Not a bad day, all on the shakey head. And it was a beautiful day God gave us befor the cold hits. Got to say I love my skeeter. The ride is smooth.
