Report From The 22Nd

[Mule659]

I fished out in Kimberling Saturday night. Launched at around 7:00 and had a great night. Caught right at 23 fish with 10 of them being really good solid Largemouths in the 18 1/2 to 21 inch range, 3 Smallmouth keepers with the biggest being 18 inches, and only 1 Kentucky all night, he went about 16 1/2 inches. The rest were all short Smallmouth in the 12 to 14 inch range. The first two fish were caught just before dark on a PB&J creature bait. All the others were on a 3/8 oz PB&J jig with a black and blue pork trailer. I started out with some other baits and colors but could not get a single hit no matter what I threw, as soon as I put on that PB&J bait they hit me right away so I stuck with the same color all night. Had one run were I brought in 5 fish on 5 casts...now that was fun!

Great night Mule. You just got to love the lake when it gets quiet at night. What depth were you running the jig and what kind of banks seemed more productive. Thanks

Most of the fish came from around 12-18 feet and the banks with a good amount of rocks seemed to do the best for me by far.
