Just looked at BassTrakk and Coombs already has 5 for 22 lbs. (estimated). It's 0942 in the morning out there, the guy must have dropped his trolling motor right on them.

Good luck to you and your crew! Nice rig.

I did catch the biggest bass off a back end dock corner, and a couple others off the side of docks. I didn't get any bites off the fronts or in the stalls, but I did not spend a lot of time fishing stalls. A few fish were caught off points and chunk rock banks, but most were in coves on the sunny side. The little pockets in the coves hold spawners, but I fish the deeper water in front of the beds or off the secondary points, I'm not targeting the bedding fish, but looking for the ones that are lurking in the deeper water near the bedding areas. I usually do a kind of hop with the jig, just lift it a bit, a few inches, and let it drop. Had several chasers back to the boat, so swimming a jig may get a fish or two also.

I hear you Jim, and Bluebasser, the Ned is fun to fish and catches quality and quantity. I have fished it a lot so far this year, and I don't want to say that I'm tired of fishing it, but I like fishing other stuff especially jigs.

Nice cold morning, no wind but lots of sun. I'm ready for a day that I can start out first thing in the morning wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Today was not the day. Pretty much decided to go with jigs today, didn't catch as many as a Ned day, but I expected that. Did get some quality, a 4.5 on a War Eagle 3/8 oz in Pond Scum Perch, and a 3 lb. on a Nutech Pro Series in GP/Blue 3/8 oz. Using Rage Tail Chunks as a trailer. Caught another 15 on the Nutech, with a few keepers in there. Mainly I was going into coves and fishing cover, most fish were shallow, less than 10 feet. I did get a 2.5 smallie on the Ned (I had to throw it for a bit). Water temps were 60-63. There's still some bass on beds, but not a lot.

Yeah Spinal Tap is a good one, I haven't watched it in a while. One line from one of the songs has always stuck with me: "She's got a cushion, for pushin' "

Thanks for the report - that is some good fishing!

Ned and other finesse baits causing deep hooking?
Quillback replied to Jim Elam's topic in Table Rock Lake
I have had very few deep hooked fish, as in deep in the throat on the Ned. I don't know why that is, because you would think fish would be swallowing it all the time. Usually for me, it is the Carolina rig (or the split shot) that will get swallowed. But, good points Jim on fish care for deeply hooked fish. And I have seen the let them recover in the live well to release later thing work. -
Not much of a Cards fan, but you hate to see this. If there is any silver lining it is that it is not an arm injury, and he should be back in fine form next year.
-
Except when they meet the Royals in the World Series. But in all seriousness, I'd like to see a Cards/Royals Series this year.

I may give Windsor a shot today, haven't been over there in a few months. I fished the Ned over at Lake Ann last week, caught 10, 10-14" fish. Week before that I fished Loch Lomond with the Ned - probably caught 75 or so 6 - 10" bass and another 25 that were 1 -3 lbs. Spawning beds were everywhere except for the steep banks. Lomond needs some thinning of he herd, way too many dink bass in that lake.

Thanks for posting, some great fishing!
-
Not lately, where were they last year?

Wind whips through trees Green clouds of pollen blow I sneeze

Good observations. I hate that spawn thing where they will pick up a bait and move it away, but never really have it in their mouths.
-
And don't forget the Ned rig if you are black bass fishing.
-
I recommended Babler to you, I don't know any of the Beaver guides. Usually when someone refers to a location by number, they are referring to those numbered signs.

Samardzija came flying out of the dugout and launched himself into the scrum. He got lucky and got knocked to the ground just in time to miss that haymaker Volquez threw at him.
-
The good top water bite should be starting real soon.

Good to see another poster, thanks for the report. Those Kentucks are made for light tackle, and sure are fun to catch. Interesting to hear you got some action on the square bill, I was thinking of throwing it next time out on some chunk rock banks. Love that water color in that cove.
-
That is a popular spot.
-
Doesn't seem right that Ventura got a 7 game suspension and Smardjiza only got 5. If they give Ventura 7, same should go for Smardjiza.

There's a handful of guys in that tourney that live close enough that they fish Beaver often, and several of the co-anglers also fish it. Steve Meadors is an excellent local bass fisherman, and having him in the back seat would be like having a local guide fishing with you. I don't know who he back-seated for this year, but it would be interesting to see who he fished with this year and how they did.
