Dan the fisherman

Nice crappie Christmas tree. 👍🏽

Sounds like an amazing day. Congrats!!

I picked up the helix si 12 g2n finally. Now my helix 10 can go on the trolling motor and I’ll have the 12 at the consul. This will be my first graph with side imaging. I’m really excited.

I was telling my wife the same thing. I like them striped up.

I didn’t want to drive all the way to RB so I decided to fish the dirty water and launched out of PC. I fished steep banks with chunk rock. I used jigs and shaky head worms. The fish were surprisingly shallow. 10-15 feet. I caught over half a dozen, I don’t know may 8-9, But one was really good sized. It went 4.2 pounds. It definitely my biggest of the year. But then again, I’ve only been bass fishing 3 times this year so that might change. Water was dirty as heck and temp was right at 50. I’ll will say this, it was a grind, I really had to work for the fish I got. I hit it from 1pm till dark for those fish. A solid 6 1/2 hours fishing hard. Anyways, good luck out there and stay safe

I’ve always wanted them to do a show here. But during the summer

Ya I got it on a 6’6 medium rod (jerk bait rod). It was pretty crazy, me running around the boat trying to keep it out of the motors and out from under the boat lol. The whites were very big. And fat too. Id say they were all 2 pound or more

I didn’t go to Indian creek. I also didnt see much Debris. Looked pretty safe out there. Water looks good to. It’s a little cloudy but not bad

I went out yesterday looking for smallies. Unfortunately I didn’t get any. But I did get a 15 pound striper, a Bass , and s few whites. Jerk bait was the ticket. Water temp was 50. I fished From RB and to the dam.

Nothing yet. Ive tried Goshen and wareagle

Very dirty! 1-2 inch visibility at best. It started to clear around point 10 on Monday. I never went into coose but it was dirty water in pc, avoca and all around the islands and up river as far as I could see.

Very nice catch for a short trip. Appreciate the report

I completely agree Stump. I’ll be out Thursday and Friday if the wind stays down and it doesn’t thunderstorm should be good

I really hope it doesn’t flood. If it does, I’ll start bass fishing earlier than normal

If it makes a hard mud line fishing should be great. The rains will also warm the water pretty fast. I’m optimistic about it. I hope we don’t get completely blown out like in previous years though. Rain is good, just not all at once.

I got out Friday early morning looking for some top water action. It was misty outside and cool with little to no wind. I knew they would go top somewhere, just didn’t know where. I look looked in pockets mostly and points but mostly pockets. After about 1 1/2 hrs of searching I found them. At first they weren’t busting hard they were more like rolling on the surface. As the morning went by they became more aggressive and actually started busting. Funny thing is, I couldn’t get one to bite a top water plug. They were very smart. What I ended up doing was running free lines and casting hair jigs at them. I hooked 3 on the hair jig and landed two, also hooked 2 on the free lines and landed 1. The bite shut down pretty fast. Lasting only about 20-30 min. But I was really happy to see the conditions improving and seeing fish on top. A couple of more weeks and it may be really good, I’m excited to see what develops. Anyways, good luck out there fellas and stay safe. Btw water temp was 46 This post has been promoted to an article

Way to go Lance.... put a hurting on them crappie

Striper fishing has been hit or miss. I’ll go 2-3 days catching them and then go 1-2 days with nothing. Most fish have come off points lately. Stripers and whites seem to be mixed in with each other. Been catching wallies also. Trick has been covering water on points from 35-55 FOW. I’ll also check channel swings but they’ve been unproductive lately. Water temp is 40-44 degrees. Good luck out there fellas, stay safe This post has been promoted to an article

I’ll be out there in morning.

I’ve towed many of people back to the dock. It’s good crama !! Good job. Fish gods will repay.

Not much of a report but I had a few hours to burn yesterday and got out. I worked the south side of the lake and found nothing. No bait and just a few whites, I marked them but didn’t fish them. I was on a striper hunt. After 2 1/2 hours of driving around I had to come in for work. I imagine the fish have to be north of the bridge. But I don’t know. I never made it that far. Water temp at point 12 was 39 and at HSB was 43.8. I’ll be back at it Tuesday with more time. I’m sure it’ll be better the next go.

It really is though. I’ve caught a lot of big LMB and spots this year
