ryan Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Went out fun fishing yesterday which I haven't done much of this year. Not that pre-fishing isn't fun but went out for numbers yesterday. Put in around 9 am ran up the white looking for bed fish. Found tons of them in about every cove we stopped in. Had probably 60 fish on shakey heads and top water. Those fish were just locked on the beds tight. Green pumpkin on the shallow beds and white on the deeper beds (just so we could see). Lots of fat K's and Smallies, had one pocket where we caught several nice Largemouth biggest maybe went 4 1/4 best 5 12-13lbs but man was it fun and easy. Not a tournament pattern but if you just want to have a fun day with your wife or kids this is the time to do it. Saw several pairs on the beds. 3/16 oz spot remover, and probably any plastic that you wanna stick on it will work, 8lb FC on the old fairy wand. God bless and I hope you all have as good of a time as we did. On a more somber note I saw my first jet skier yesterday (so it begins)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate May tournaments for that reason...always wanted May to be catch-n-release only for bass in Misssouri but that won't happen unless I win the Powerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see both April and May made that way. It would be a completely cost-free management tool other than what little they might spend on education and enforcement.

I have visions of flipping a jig in buck brush and watching a 14 come out of it BUT I am good with my southern Arkansas and Texas trips to get my fix.

Sprint21fter Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Gone to Texas and Florida for them suckers. Caught a 10plus with stable warm weather on Fork, went to the Big O in Florida before a cool front and jacked them in mats on black and blue jig. Seen both sides good and bad. I wonder if stocking those fish they would stay shallow or grow accustomed to our deep lake and move deep throughout the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
