Report Fellows Lake

[Predator1]

Took my brother n law to Fellows Lake today. We caught over our limit on BASS this evening after work from 530pm till 8:00pm. We were throwing a 1/4 oz jig head with baby brush hogs up into the bushes....the water is definitely a lot higher since the rain we got. The bass were not taking off as soon as they hit it. They would hold it in their mouth on the way down. You have to pay attention and fill them . Also the water is really clear....visibility was at least 7feet.

Most our fish were 2-4lbs...we had 3 that would go around 5lbs.......These fish are in post spawn and a couple of them had craw-fish lodge in their throats. They will be feeding a lot this week. Especially with the FULL MOON.

Hope this will help some of you.

5/29/10 went around 10am to 5pm. Caught 25 shorts and 4 good keepers 4lbs, the other three where in the 3lb class. The keepers all came on big rock with lay down on jig&pig. The shorts where all in front of brush. Back of cove did the best. Sinko and stick bait. One muskie 24in.

Just a great day to be on the water and not at work.

Nice fishing. I thank you are the only one who has caught a muskie in Fellows in quite some time. We caught several bass all morning around KDOCK at Bull Shoals Saturday I caught my first Walleye. On the James River yestserday we tore up the Smallmouth in good sizes and some LM BASS. I posted reports on each threads.

Talk to ya later...until then..

Good Luck and Safe Fishing.

I've caught a little muskie the last three times I've been to Fellows. All you have to do throw a stick bait and try to catch bass. That stick bait you don't want to lose and they will hit it every time, like a mega bass. Had a lot of fun catching shorts out in front of brush with it. Lot of fish following to the boat.

Interesting. I have tons of rouges, redfins & rapalas. I have never tried for muskies. Are they as particular to color and speed retrieval?

Lots of flash and maybe 1 to 4 sec. Pause. Iam also using a suspending bait. The majority if the fish where on flats with deep water close.

Thanks Nitro96. I am headed to Springfield Lake this afternoon after work. My brother n law went this morning and caught a 20" LM on a Baby Bass Spook at 6:30am. Check out the Springfield Forum tonight.
