Fished Fellows this afternoon. Only caught 2 LM bass. Both came on a white and chartruse spinnerbait. First fish was 17 inches, second was 19.5 inches. Returned both to the Lake. Wind was blowing alot. Water was 61 to 62 degrees and a little dingy green.
Good luck to all and stay safe.
You will have to buy a $35.00 boat permit to put your boat on fellows. You pay that at the marina and they put a sticker on your boat. The wind can make the lake pretty rough when it is coming out of the south.
I have never heard of anyone catching a smallmouth on Fellows but maybe that was not your question.
I took the kids over there on wed. march 28th and we saw a guy land a 36" mushy will fishing for crappie. After taking it to the marina to have his picture taken, him and his wife released the fish. I was impressed with that.
I forgot to mention water level was about normal pool. About 12" to 18" below the courtsey dock. Water temp was 46 to 48, although I would say it probly went up on Sunday.
We were fishing over brush piles with jigs and swimming minnows. Tried about every color. We throw some crank baits and some jerk baits looking for bass. When bass fishing we were fishing around secondary points and then fished channels back into shallower water.
My 9 year old son and I fished fellows for about 4 hrs this morning. We did not get a bite. I talked to several other boats and they all had the same results. Hopefully better fishing is coming soon. If you have had better luck, please let us know what we are doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated by a 9 year old.
Does anyone fish for white bass on the Pomme river? I was thinking of try that this weekend and wondered if anyone had been fishing for them? I was going to take my 9 year old son. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks again.
We ended up going white bass fishing. Grandpa and I did good but the boy fell a little short. We let him real some in but he said that did not count. We had fun any way. Thanks for the reply.
I was wondering if anyone has been catching crappie around Theodosia? We were thing about heading there this weekend and any help would be much appreciated. My son (8 yrs old) and I are not very good fisherman and need any help we can get. Thanks in advance.
fished fellows for a couple of hours Sunday evening with no bites. Talked to a few other boats and everyone was reporting very slow conditions. Water temp was at 59 and clear down by the dam.
We were thinking of putting in at Theodosia this coming weekend(April 17th and 18th). Was wondering if anyone was having any luck there. Any advise would be much appriciated, as we are not very good under the best of conditions. Thanks for any advise.
I appriciate all the replies, I was beginning to think I was the only one on here interested in Fellow's lake. I hope to go tomorrow, but we will have to see what the family has planned for me. Thanks again.
May day started out with my partner calling and cancelling on me first thing, and things went down hill from there. I fished from 7:30 to 10:00 and never got a bite. The water was pretty murky and the water temp was at 56. I would say I just need more practice. Thanks for all the advise guys. I forgot to say that I put in at High Point and stayed fairly close to that area.
