Started off great, till I lost my favorite crankbait!!! Some times you try with all your might and nothing works!! I know where it is and might go swimming for it later!! I’m sure that stump has 4 or five others of mine!! Figured fishing would get better after the dumb a#%’s (I mean holiday lake goers) got off the lake!!🤷‍♂️ Had 14 keepers today. Cranks and jig. Fish were scattered out for the most part. Graphed a lot of fish today but some schools just wouldn’t bite. I’m sure the moon had a lot to do with that but stayed with it today to see if because of the moon the afternoon bite picked up. And like I said it did!! Didn’t get to many pics, phone over heated(not that it was hot!!) and shut down but got it cooled off and got a few more pics

You can use Limeaway too. Just mix 50/50 with distilled water to reduce it down

Olfishead, there is none that I know of surviving high water episodes. Wish there was. When the water stays normal for a few years, you can see floating around in the lake hints of what looks like millfoil. I have no idea where it comes from🤷 Must be little sparse patches somewhere. But the lake gets high again and you don’t see for several years again. Not sure how many years ago( I loose track) but way up the Lindley almost to sleepy hollow there was 2 little patches of milfoil, now it’s gone😭

Oneshot, I’m pretty sure she’s spawned out. She’s just been eating good for the last six weeks. When we were starting to catch these fish after the spawn they looked like they were in a cage fight with Conor McGregor🤣 They were long skinny beat up. Over the last 6 weeks they have put on weight big time and healing up. The fish seem to be moving to their summertime patterns now.

Well I was kind of hoping that there might be more hungover people this morning to keep them off the lake for a few hours. Not true!! Bloody Mary’s must of been served early and on the lake they came!!! We did get a couple of nice hours of fishing but with the moon up all night I’m sure the fish fed well last night and the bite probably wasn’t going to be good till afternoon/evening. I’m pretty sure the way the lake looked at 10:30 I wasn’t staying any longer to find out!! What bites we had were lackluster at best. If you didn’t hit them right on the head they weren’t going to chase it at all. We had 4 keepers this morning 3 were 2 1/2-3lbs and one about 4 1/2lbs. We graphed several groups of fish but couldn’t get them to react at all. Not much of a report but when this weekend is over it should get back to normal.

My old buddy and I are going out tomorrow till the boats get crazy. I hope I’m still getting with it like he is when I’m in my 80’s!!! He stays with it all day long!! Love this guy!!!

I got a new phone and tried to log in and for some reason wouldn’t let me in. So just started a new account. I think that’s what you are asking???

Nomolites, Like are you meaning my old account on here?

Mo you’re right on when the A-rig came out it was wacking big fish. Seems to of calmed down a bit now. Think the fish are getting used to it but big limits sill get caught with it. I caught my pomme personal best on it. 9.12lb the one next to it is 6.51lb

I remember a 83 tournament that my brother in law and I fished we sat on one spot and caught 101 keepers in 101 cast. They were just 13-13 1/2inches. Sounds crazy but that’s the way it was back then. 13-14” fish everywhere. If someone caught a 4 pounder it was an aww moment😮

Used to be a lot from Bolivar landing to wheatland. You could catch fish just about every cast back then. Not very many big one but lots of quantity.

Remember those good ol days!! How many remember fishing the water willow on the lake?? that should take you back a bit!!🤔

SSteve, Actually the bass fishing has improved over the years. We used to fish 83 Marina tournaments where it took 10 fish limit to weigh 20lbs but now it’s 5 the weigh 20-26 or more. Back then you could go down the bank with just about anything and catch fish but now you have to work a bit more at it. Not saying that you can’t catch plenty of bass on the lake. The fish have changed a lot in the last 15 years. Fishing pressure has increased but I think just the boating pressure has a lot to do with fish behavior. I mean if someone rocks your house day after day you wouldn’t stay shallow either. I’ve never seen so many boats on pomme. It’s a mad house out there on the weekend!!!

Fished Stockton Saturday and Sunday. Sunday fished the solo pro and sucked it up big time!! Went to pomme to day and redeemed myself that I know how to catch fish!! Went well had 13 keepers 9 were great ol biggins!! Only 2 I took pictures of🤔 but the last month has been outstanding!!

Walter,Great weather, cold beer and KC wins!!

Years ago when tournaments in early spring were tough. You could go up the river and catch them. I’m sure the ones you catch now in the lake are transplants from up there. A lot of them are mean mouths. Not to age myself but years ago 83 marina had tournaments with 10 fish limit and if you couldn’t get bit on the main lake then we used to break ice to get up there. There was a group of us that I’m sure over the years brought at least 100 or more to that weigh in. The largest one I can remember being caught was a little over 4lbs that my partner caught.
