denjac Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Had a decent day Sat. with gobs of fish on a jerk bait. Biggest one was 3 pound black and a couple toad KY at 2 1/2 to 3. Real shallow on the jerk bait. Right in front of the moss line. A few fish on the grub on deeper banks. Fished from mill creek to Cow. Today was a differant story around the dam area, couldnt get bit until I got into Long creek and then it was just a few dinks. Caught 3 nice goggle eye in brushy creek on the grub. Went into a crappie spawning cove to check that out and just caught one, but it was a dandy. 17 1/2 inches and 2 1/2 pounds. Threw her in the livewell but didnt come up with anymore so returned her back to the water. She was in around 8 ft of water and caught her swimming a jig real slow. They ought to pop this week or next. Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

motoman Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Nice report den, sorry today was rough though; but...... great looking slab there! - Sounds like others are avoiding fishing the moss altogether; nice to hear it can still be fished.
Gone Fishing Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 What a crappy Denjac. You are not alone on the tough day. Fished the Joe Bass tourny today and it was tough for most including us with only a few keepers all day. Clear skys and little to know wind with super clear water is a recipe for disaster.

I fish Joe Bass too, but chickened out as I wasnt on enough quality fish. Guess that makes me an old poop head but I kept $140. in my pocket. Usually when its tough I do well but just had a funny feeling. What did it take to win today? Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

rps Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Had I fished in competition today, I would have weighted nothing. My partner had a very nice walleye, but they don't count. I am not worthy.
