The Big M 9/27/2013

[Quillback]

Fished around Big M this morning, didn't find a great bite, but I managed to pick up a few. Got lucky and ran into some top water schoolers around 8:30 at the mouth of a small cove. The bite didn't last very long, but put a few LM's into the boat throwing a Strike King Sexy Dawg. After that, picked up a few on a c-rig tipped with a Zoom Ultravibe Speed craw in Green Pumpkin with gold flake. Got a decent spot dragging a Keitech rigged on a swing jig type football head. Threw a jig around some chunk rock, but no love on that.

Caught 10 bass, with a few keeps.

Water temp 76-78.

QB, I like your reports. Much good information with an economy of words. Thank you.

He does write a good report, huh rps? Light, tight and bright.

I think Donna and I are gonna roll into Shell Knob about daylight in the morning and proceed to see who we can catch. Got a few pet places I need to check on.

Quillback, I do not post much but I want to thank you for the idea of using a speed craw alone. Tried is several times over the last couple of days, on a shakey head, and have had some days where I really caught them, especially true last Wednesday. Green Pumpkin /Purple is my main color.

Z22, glad to hear the Speed Craw worked for you, it's one of my favorites, but I have to give my fishing buddy Jeb the credit for showing me how well they worked. That GP/Purple is my #1 color also.

went last night and caught 10 to 15 shorts on a green pumpkin foot ball jig with a baby brush hog for a trailer. Most fish came off of one point in 15 to 25 feet of water.
