Seth Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 We anchored along channel edge on side opposite of the boat ramp and caught five catfish on cut shad. Biggest was 7 pound channel. Lots of little bites that we couldn't hook on 8/0 circle hooks. Also had two spoonbill on for a few seconds that swam in to our lines. They jumped out of the water like sailfish and hooks popped out. Really awesome! Had a buddy and his dad also fishing up there for crappie and whites. Caught tons of dink crappie and kept five about 10-12" long and two little whites. They also snagged 10 paddlefish throwing crappie jigs and crankbaits. Also seen four paddlefish in throw nets while trying for shad. It's crazy how thick they are up there right now. Sure does make for some light tackle fun if you accidently hook one.

The kicker of the day was the 13.8 lb. hybrid I landed on a #6 gold hook! Overall the fishing for white bass is very good. The spoonbill are really thick up by the dam. Angler At Law
Seth Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 Wow! That's an awesome hybrid man. I'd love to go back up there and catch a few, but I never catch any when I'm trying.

I just got back from Bagnell. The water is still running, but the fishing was really slow. I only got three fish (a small white, a crappie, and a drum) in 2 hours. Angler At Law

I only got three fish (a small white, a crappie, and a drum) in 2 hours. That doesn't sound good. I am wanting to go somewhere this weekend but not sure where.

Rapala glassrap ShadRap thown along the break in the current on the flood gate side. Landed over 30, left with a great limit. I saw lots of people catching cats also. Going back in the morning.
