Good fishing for sure! I might head over there next week if we don't have a crazy rise in the lake level. Saw the weather forecast tonight and they are saying we could get 8-10 inches this weekend. I sure hope it's not that much.

Ham, I didn't even notice that little thingy until I saw it on the picture, so unfortunately, it is still swimming with it.

Dtrs is right about what you'll see on the sonar, the fish are on the bottom, hard to pick out especially on the rocky stuff, I did see a few obvious fish a foot or two off the bottom, but most are tough to pick out. 176, are you fishing the Ned at all?

Every year I say to myself that I am going to do some serious bluegill fishing, but I never do. There's probably some good redears in Beaver.

It might be a meanie, markings of a spot, but has that dark green coloration.

Well my day wasn't nearly as good as Cheesemasters. Got 15 bass to the boat, most on the Ned and a few on a tube. Had 3 keeper sized spots. Threw the hard plastic around for a while, got one pretty good largemouth to grab a Mega-price 110, but halfway to the boat, he did an aerial head shake and tossed the lure. Fish I caught were in the 10-20 FOW range. Saw a couple of bass chasing stuff up on the bank. Water temp 51-52.

Dang Cheese, that is some fine fishing. Congrats!

I would just buy the whole deal. TW would be all mine.

Looks like they are running water out of Beaver now, if that forecast holds true, we could see 1130 unless they move some of that water out.

Yikes!

I keep telling the Waltons that I am one of Sam's illegitimate sons, and would you please throw a couple of billion $ my way, but for some reason, they just ignore me.

McClelland talking about the Crawler. He hints at some new colors. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/vlogpage.html?ccode=VLOG336

Great stuff Bill, thank you!

I only name the meanies. 176, there are plenty of untapped fish up the White river channel, I'm just a novice at sore-lipping the fish compared to some of the retired guys that live on the lake up there.

Good stuff Cheese, I could not get a bite on a JB the other day, seems like the fish are eating different stuff depending based on what part of the lake, or are just changing up every day. Or, could be that I stink at jerk baiting.

That lure comes with it's own theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hce74cEAAaE

Pretty much my philosophy. I fish for bites, 99% of the bites won't be bigguns, but that is fine.

There is.

Aarch, I can usually get about 2 years out of lead acid batteries for my trolling motor (stop and go bass fishing stuff), could be that trolling breaks them down quicker if you're running them until they die every time out.

I've been in the batteries test good, but are run down situation before myself. You just have to insist to them that they are NOT holding a charge for long, and ask for the warranty to apply, I'm thinking it probably pro-rated if it is like most battery warranties.

Got out late in the morning, launched around 10 AM, had to wait for temps to get up near 40 before exposing my delicate self to the outdoors. Fishing was pretty decent today from a quantity standpoint. Caught 25 total, with only 4 of those being keeper sized. Biggest was a 17" smallie. Most fish were relatively deep, 20 FOW on the bottom was the sweet spot, with a few in closer and a few deeper. About 2/3 of the fish came on a 1/8 oz Ned, the other third on a T-rigged tube. Dragging both slowly on the bottom. A few fish came up and bit on the drop. Chunk rocks banks, rocky points, bluff ends, and docks was where I got most of my bites. Must have been a tourney out of Viney today, about 15 rigs in the Viney lot. Water temp 51-53, water is stained, maybe 5 - 10 feet of viz.

It's hard to get one by us.

That hat looks nicer than Eddie's.

Thanks, I'll book mark it.

Sounds about right, probably will be some more coming in later, and a few may drop out. I'm thinking we'll end up with around 30.
