dang

thx Bluff-

i learned a lot just by looking at the color of their eyes, thanks Ham,great pics any crankbait love out there yet? i put some new Kitana rings and hooks on my series 5 and 6 cranks. They are ready to rock n roll!

worst Spring for crappie i've seen in 15yrs... have yet to see anybody I know with a limit of crappie in the last 8 weeks even the night bite under lights is slow from what I've heard. they can be caught, but it has not been as good as it should be imo walleye bite has been pretty good.

looks like we are going back up again. I'm hearing 3 more feet? if it rains again this week, maybe even more

i like this jig and you don't have to use glue

cool deal, nice pics and all on the facebook

cool man!

not huge, but vicious!

thanks for the update, glad ya'll found a few

WT high 60's now 665 and falling clear I have been talking to several anglers the last ten days who have been fishing all over the lake and this is what they are telling me. If you go out early at dawn and it's fairly calm try a topwater around the brush where bass are/were spawning, and watch for schooling activity again later in the day. Clouds will help prolong the topwater bite. On windy days the spinnerbait and crankbait bite has been good on shallow windblown pockets,flats , and points. Sunny days w/ a little breeze four and five inch grubs are working on the brown bass and walleye in 12-30'. Trolling cranks in 17-30' on the bluffs is also working for walleye. Main lake points, secondary points in coves, and bluffs in the creeks have been pretty good locations with all this recent generation. I've been working a bunch lately so last night on my way home I finally got to try a newly painted purple brownie red fin and caught a handful of spots in less than 30 minutes on it just fishing from the bank! Strikes were vicious!(pics later) Starting to see a few pods of bass fry around docks too.

wow, what a great turnout this year,,and the weather Sat. was amazing ! i was there to watch them take off,, how about that sunrise!? https://www.facebook.com/WRVEC

you're right it's not magic, but it happens. saw a 30lb striper spit out a red fin in the well that it had completely swallowed so anything is possible

i'm using sickles for finesse jigs and rarely do they gut hook a fish, and fish have a harder time throwing the sickle once hooked switched to circle hooks on my catfish lines a few years ago, no gut hooked cats either

well, just the green ones

I was happy to hear the biggest bass of the day was caught on a vintage bait I restored and painted

they should be finishing up their spawn by then so they should be fairly hungry, crawlers on a jig are always worth a try, I'd start on the old shoreline in 12-15 fow and work deeper, Just a guess good luck

sweeet report man,thanks!

if you go by 654 level the lake is just about 14 feet high, plenty of bushes in the water good luck

bass are biting, topwater and finesse rigged soft plastics in coves and creeks have yet to see any crappie

bet that was it, head looked just like it's arse,lol it was so small didn't see the eyes I guess. I must have still been distracted by the morel i found that was the size of a bottle of water! biggest one I've ever found

while morel hunting I came across something i'd never seen before. What looked like a baby snake but it had no head? It looked,moved and wiggled like a nightcrawler, but it had tiny scales. It was black on the back with a bright red belly, about the thickness of a pencil, around 9" long. Wasn't a millipede or anything like that. Any ideas? I had left the camera in the truck

WT 64 667.75 visibility 5' 5-8:00pm The fishing is good and so is the catching! Been catching the heck out of spotted bass the last 2 evenings. A lizard on a carolina rig, shaky head finesse worm, and a custom painted sammy have been my best baits. The last two evenings i caught a total of 35 bass and had 20 keepers, all spots except for 5 short largemouth. All released. Fish the flattest pea gravel points/banks you can find.

24' visibility is what I hear today,lol

some tributaries were like chocolate milk about 3-4 weeks ago
