Yikes! Just A Little Scary Out There This Morning

[Bill Babler]

Topwater bite continues to be hit and miss on the White River Arm but today it was pretty much a Solid Gold Hit.

Bob Peterson was by his lonesome this morning and I got to fling abit. Caught a few also. We fished topwater till about 7 AM and then things went Insane. I mean bite after bite, and big Bite after big Bite.

Close to 20 pounds to the boat today with 3 big ones that I did not post as they stumbled into my jig instead of Bob's.

Had one chasing 10 inch Gizzard Shad in front of us that we did not catch. Other than that, we pretty much cleaned up.

This lake is just on fire with Big quality fish. All three Black Bass species and White's, are keeping us in just about all the fishing we can take.

Good Luck

Great fish you go there, thanks for sharing. Looks like a big jig.

It is not very often that I do, and I appreciated Bob wanting me to fish with him and a good time was had by all.

Phil Stone may post, but his folks were fishing the same general area this morning and they had close to 30 big Whites. I believe all were spoon fed. He had 4 folks and was fishing up and down in 160 ft. of water. Fish were suspended in about 25 ft.

You know you have made it as a guide when you can figure out that kind of a deal, on a consistent basis.

He had the usual deal, and I bet you a crawdad that he never cast a lure all day. But, he did get to touch a fish, Ha. Ha I don't feel sorry for him. What a great way to make a living. All of us are blessed.

Good Luck

Fished our 3rd morning of 6 so far this week. 3 more to go! We've caught a total of 36 fish with 13 keeps so far! Not bad for 3 guys who get to fish The Rock one week of the year in the summer! Will give more info and pic's soon as we are busy with the family! Good Luck and good fishin!

[Bill Babler]

Not bad at all. I've had a lot of mornings I would be happy with 12 fish with 4 keeps, and I fish here everyday.

Good luck

Nice job, nice fish! But wait, "just about all the fishing we can take." That's like that song, no such thing as too much fun. But you did say ALMOST. lol
