I've seen turkey's in water during spring. They would come down wade out and go back the way they came. I thought it had something to do with them being on a nest. But I'm not sure and no nesting now.
We fished Baxter area and it was slow for us also. We did fish shallow some but caught most of ours 15 to 17 foot. Ned and swimmers. Best fish for the day was a 17" Kentucky on a jig. Like you said lots of boats out.
I was in King's Wednesday and we caught 15. They were pretty scattered for me. I really thought it would be better. Lots of boats for the middle of the week. Caught mine on a white 1/6 oz jig.
They fixed some half dollar size chips out of mine but nothing like what you have. Call and talk to them see what they say. Might be able to send a picture to them.
I have used Arkansas boat restoration. They have installed graphs, wet sand and buffed boat, fixed chips put on new keel guard and I just had new bunks put on my trailer. I have been very pleased with all work they have done for me and I think they are reasonable on price.
Thanks Bill for this information π. I've been wanting to try it but didn't know how to start or how to do it. Most would not share info like this. I just ordered some fly's. Thanks again for sharing.
I went to Indian Creek Saturday and only saw one striper blow up. I did fish for crappie for awhile with no luck. I have caught them in the spring. Did catch 6 small bass. Launched at Ventris yesterday saw lots of bait but never caught a fish. Fished from coppermine to 12 bridge. I saw where they are really catching stripers up around hickory Creek.
Yeah and I watched some of it while they were fishing and you would see them motion someone coming down the lake to go behind them π€. We're just not as important as themπ
Lol π yeah had lots of stuff out because I didn't know exactly what I would be throwing. Once I got going I didn't put anything up. If I could get out again maybe I would not need as many.
Put in at Big indian at 6am. Should have been earlier. Started out throwing topwater I would get them on but couldn't keep them pinned. Switched to a swimbait and it was on. Fished up the white and got on one point and it seemed like every other cast a Kentucky or a smallmouth. There seemed to be a sweet spot on that point. Finally got ran off of main lake points picked up a jig and fished some steeper bluff banks caught some largemouth up to 4 lbs. It was one of the best days I've had in awhile. Swimbait in sexy shad. Jig PBJ W/ Chigger bug trailer.
Yeah I had 3 of them run between me and the bank today while I was fishing. Berkeley boat and real tree. I could've cast and hit they're boat. I guess 200 yrds of water on the other side wasn't enough.
