I don't know how big that is but thanks for keeping it in the gene pool. I opted out today to let my shoulder rest.
-
One of the kids who is learning to make baits at my house sent me a text. He said they came in 22nd over all. That is a good finish with so many boats involved. I am proud of him.
-
I have not been able to get a bite in the brush. I am guessing that some are there but I can't get them to bite. Some are close to the brush and some are quite a ways out. Some hit right under the boat as I was lifting my bait for another cast.
-
Only 2 spots yesterday. I rarely catch them before summer. Both were egg laden females. The smallies seem to be spawned out . Water is 66 t0 67 degrees. With all the storms in the area I think I will take today off.

Stayed N of 215 bridge today. Had 39 bass with 9 keepers to 3.75 and 1 keeper walleye. Again plastic was the only thing that was working. Fish are moving to the coves.

Rouark ramp is in Sons by the H bridge.

Fished this morning after the rain. Wound up with 15 bass but only 2 keeps. All on plastic. They were from 5 to 10 feet deep. Anywhere from the points to the back of the coves. Once again no spinnerbait bites.

It should be just fine. The lake hasn't come up that much. I am planning on launching at Crabtree.
-
I am going to camp at Crabtree Cove and see if I can find any cooperative fish. It has been over a week since I was at Hartley and the water has come up about 4 feet. When this happened a couple of years ago the green fish went to the brush and the brown fish stayed out in open water. It was a smallie fest for over a week. I am hoping is it similar but if I have to I guess I will fish the brush.

After reading this it makes me happy that I had a big boat before we built our house. My wife designed the house and I designed the garage. I built a 15X30 boat bay with a floor drain and hot and cold water so I could fit the boat in and wash it inside the garage when the weather is cold. They wanted to put an 8' door in it. My trailer was wider than that. I insisted on a 12' and it is barely wide enough if my s-i-l is backing the boat.

I did but it is now in W. VA.

Check the BPS outlet.
-
That is basically what I found last week. I am heading down there on Sunday for a 10 day trip. I'm glad to see the water warming up. The brown fish should be spawning. I sure hope something besides the ned works out for me.

I was at the Bass Pro Catalog Outlet store this morning. They have the wall behind east counter filled with Lowrance and Humminbird units. I saw Hook, HDS, Helix and Onix units. If you are looking to upgrade it might be worth your while to check them out.

I would like to catch some on brush hogs. I threw it 2 days without a bite. As for spots I had 1. I have caught 2 in 3 trips
-
I have been using jigs crawls spinnerbaits worms and swim baits and not catching anything. Today I fished a spot with craws and worms with no bites. I made 1 cast with a Ned and got a 2.5 green fish. I went on to catch 16 more up to 4.75 with 6 nice keepers. All on Ned Drew's craw.
-
Where would one need to fish to catch a bunch of the spots? I have only caught 2 all year long.
-
So I guess it doesn't matter where I let people look for them. I think I will keep them close to the road instead of roaming around.
-
I only got to fish for 2 hours this morning. I caught 6 bass with 3 keeps. I also had 4 pre spawn female whites. All but 1 came on Ned Drew's craw. I finally got 1 on a spinner bait.
-
I only got to fish for 4 hours this morning. I am nursing a shoulder injury from a farming accident. In that time I had 8 brown fish and 2 green keepers. All came on ned in 5 to 10 fow on points. Water temperature is 56 degrees.

ZX 190 maybe loosen up the drag if you are using that sissy 6# like I do.

I have some land in Stone County and am always having someone ask if they can hunt shrooms on it. I'm not willing to just turn them loose on it but wouldn't mind having them look if I had an Idea of where they might find some. It has a spring that runs all the way through it and a couple of sloughs. Do they grow around low damp spots of on more hilly ground?
-
Thanks guys that is some encouraging news. I'm going to be there 4 to 5 days and hope to get on some kind of pattern as well as spend time learning how the new birds react to the MK.
-
I am going to camp at Stockton State Park for a few days and see if I can find some green or brown fish. I'll be in a red and gray Nitro Z 20 if any of you guys are around there.
