Trav's Fishing Report

[Trav]

We launched at the Crabtree ramp around seven this morning to do a little bass fishing. However, the walleye had other ideas.

Spending almost five hours drifting windy willows with grubs and crankbaits, we only managed two bass. Out of the nineteen fish we caught, fourteen of them were walleye. I am not complaining though!

The bass bite was near invisible. With surface temps in the low eighties, I probably should have dug out the Bagley DD3s or at least taken myself out of the wind to search deeper water instead of burning the edges of ten feet.

Oh well, the walleye bite was fun and couldn’t pry away from something which was working.

The transition from spawn to summer is in full swing. It won’t be long until I will be hitting them with the old drop shots. I will definitely be digging through my plastics to see if I need to stock up on my standby Sluggos and tubes this week.

One fun note, we went to Bass Pro this afternoon to replenish the grub supply and bumped into KVD. I shook his hand and asked if he was going to catch up with Skeet this season. He said with confidence…”Yes I will!”

I am going to have to buy a new white B.A.S.S. cap though. My old one now has a Kevin VanDam signature on it. I am not complaining though!

Sounds like a great day!

Fished the Thursday Night Tournament and caught several bass. A few came from main lake points however the majority were up in the bushes halfway back in the creeks. Did catch some on brushhogs and senko's however the jig produced most of the bites. Only one keeper but caught several 14's. We would a stretch of bank and catch them real good for 30-40 yards and then nothing for a couple hundred yards.

I never got out of sight of the dam. Stayed right in the main lake.
