rps Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Every once in a while, TR will grant you a good day. Often it will take it back very quickly. Today was one of the good days. I cleared the marina buoys at 5:25 this morning. By 7:30 I had caught in excess of 20 top water bass that included all three varieties and 3 keepers. The fish were in 12 to 20 feet of water on a flat point and wanted my bait fished like a chug bug. Many slashing attacks and several came out of the water to hit it on the way up or the way down. About 8:00 I put that rod down and rigged for walleye. I started with last Tuesday's pattern - slow dragged nightcrawler on a C rig with a float in 12 feet of water. I caught nearly as many bass that way as I did throwing the topwater. I caught a channel catfish of 4 to 5 pounds. I also caught these: I was back at the marina by 11:30.
Flysmallie Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Sweet. Looks like you have some nice gills in there too.
Guest Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 nightcrawler on a C rig with a float RPS, can you give a detailed description of this rig. What knida float, size, color, etc? How much leader 2-3ft ? I've never used this rig but would like to try it at Beaver sometime. Thanks
OzarkFishman Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 There is a detailed description (with pictures) in the last topic written by rps (stockton day on tr).

I've never used this rig but would like to try it at Beaver sometime. Thanks I started a Table Rock thread on Tuesday titled "A Stockton day on TR." Included in the post were descriptions and pictures of the rig set up. Today I used a pink and white float.

rps Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 The small one at the back was 18, barely, without pinching the tail. The large one up front was 20 and 1/4.
