Hot - Red Hot

Left Columbia at 7 am. Bagnell by 8:15. Fished the the floodgate side and landed 6 black bass over 4 lbs. (all released)! Landed another 20+ black bass around 15 inches in the 3 hours I fished. I had 3 spoonbill (released), ten whites, and 1 crappie to go with it. My buddy got ten whites, a crappie, and several black bass. To the gentleman who fished two feet from me when the WHOLE bank was open.... thanks.........you truly are a huge #$%#. The example you set for your kids is gross and I would have helped your kids catch fish if you had not told me that " You aren't forcing me out" when I asked you to give me enough room to cast my baitcasting rod. Is a hook in the eye worth it? You caught 2 fish in 3 hours... I got close to 50............ it's not the spot buddy! It's you!

Tight lines. See you all down there tomorrow.

Glad to hear you slayed them. I might have to make a run back up there next weekend and try for catfish again.

The only problem is that the spoonbill are so thick that it costs almost $30 in Rapalas every trip! I used a pearl slider and that worked well. However, the crank-bait bite was strong so I stuck with it.

Guess I will just have to put a crankbait on my snagging pole so I can ge them in.

I'm heading down this afternoon. I will be the 25 year old, 5'9" guy in a Browning Buckmark hat. Say hello if you see me down there.

I got a 13.8 lbs. one last Friday! I also saw a few guys with some. My rods are loaded with ten pound vanish so I certainly could have hooked into a few and chalked them up as spoonbill break offs! I'm leaving in ten mins. to go back down. I will report when I get back.

Just got back. The flood gates were shut down. The fishing was fair, but not nearly as good as the other days.
