Beaver 8-23

Wnet out yesterday in Jeb's boat, we caught around 30 black bass, mainly spots in the 10-14" range. One decent LM and a couple of short walleye. Best bait was the drop-shot in 20-25 FOW with a finesse worm. We also had a fairly decent topwater bite using a 4" pencil popper.

Saw some white bass surface actvity in the main lake near Shaddox Hollow.

Lots of geese out there this year.

Have no fear 7 and a wake up and the geese will be turning into something useful like jerky or sausage.

Or fertilizer?

Hey, whatever you do with those sky carp is fine with me, as long as the end up dead.

Just for that I will cook you some and see how fast you get a license and start chasing them YOURSELF FOR FOOD.

I use to live in a city that was a waterfowl game refuge because of all the big stinkys, er sky carp we had there. It was big business for guys to buy up the hunting rights on all the farm land just outside the refuge and then "guide" folks from all over shooting them. So I had lots of buddies that were always trying to show me a goose could taste good. Never even came close. Some where the goose was a very small percentage of the dish was at least edible, but that's about all I could say for it. And I'm not a picky eater at all. Well, smoked goose is okay. But I think you could smoke a tennis shoe and it'd taste good, too.

No offense. Glad you like to eat them. But I'm not a fan.

I havent been on the lake in awhile. Blew up the ole 200 Mariner back in the early spring. Im back going now, but I havent been out yet. I was just wandering what kind of areas were you guys locating the fish?

Bass if your out next weekend ignore me I will have guns and bows on the boat lol.

When I hear the shootin I will know the source. Ive always heard that when you cook a goose the best way to do it to throw an old shoe in there with it when you cook it and then after the goose is done you throw the goose away and eat the old shoe. Ive always been told that is how you make a goose taste better. LOL!!!

We've been finding the black bass (mainly spots) around gravelly points and gravelly/rocky flats for the most part. Usually out in the 20-25 foot depths. Find a likely looking spot and use your electronics to see if there's any fish around, if you're not seeing any, move to a different spot. If you know of any brush piles in the same depth range, those are worth checking out too, same goes for any offshore humps.

Ok thanks!
