Haven't hit Springfield Lake lately. Hit Fellows today after work again for 20 Blue Gill on red wigglers from the garden. Blew Jim's mind at the Marina. These were huge fish. He caught one the other day weighed over 1lb also. Today's catch was all bigger than the hand.

I would think the Bass would be doing good at Springfield Lake right now. Find RSBRETH. He fishes it more than anyone I have talked to on this forum or typed to.

My brother-n-law comes in from Colorado and we fish it at the end of may and first of June. Try Chartreuse Spinner baits with a Colorado spinner or a willow leaf spinner with the diamond cut for vibration. Put a plastic chartreuse bleeding trailer on too. Slow retrieve near the surface will be awesome.

Also Craw-fish color jigs with plastic craw-fish. 1/4 JIG heads are perfect on Springfield lake.

Good luck and safe fishing

Where are you finding the big bluegill at on fellows that larger size would make good bait fro me? I am going to fish Mississippi river in 2 weeks need big bait.

Talk about Boo-Ya.....Bill Dance is on TV right now fishing for Drum in the GULF with his new lure called the "PADONK-KA-DONK"

I wonder if Trace Adkins sold it to him?

I will be hitting Springfield Lake this week with my Brother n Law. So I will let you know how we did. Last Summer when I took him at the same time the only conditions different now from then are the cooler water from the rain and the majority of water still running through the lake. The BASS ARE THERE AND WE ARE GOING TO FIND THEM.....Hopefully anyway. Sounds good on typing anyway.

We got there last year at 5pm and fished till midnight. We only caught one fish at night and it got off at the boat. Did not even get a good look at him. The rest of the fish were caught during the daylight hours on jig and craw-fish trailers.

If it looks like their food source then they will generally try to eat it.

Good luck and safe fishing.

I haven't fished the lake for a few weeks - been hitting the rivers. Should be able to wrangle something up with a spinnerbait shallow, I'd think.

Here's some dude that post stuff on Youtube:Lake Springfield from a float tube

Nice video. Thanks. Check out my thread on the James yesterday. Lots of BIG SMALLIES. Oh yeah, that chartrues crank bait you talked about last summer worked out real well on the current breaks.
