Quillback Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 The bass are still biting, caught a bunch, close to 50. I got a late start, waited for the fog to burn off here at home, so I did not get started until 9:30 and fished until 5:00 PM. 3/8 oz GP/Orange jig is still working, Ned is working - but better fish overall on the jig. Late in the day I threw a 3/8 oz wobble head with a 6" GP Zoom lizard and they were eating that well. Threw a 3XD in orange belly craw for just a bit and picked up a few on it. Water is fairly murky up the White in the Big M area, maybe 3 feet of viz. Water temps were 65 around point 23 and a bit cooler, 62-63 up river from Big M a mile or so. The warmer water was where the mama spots were, caught 7 -8 in the 15" 17" range in 5 -10 FOW on the jig. Had one LM that was about 2 lbs., and a 20" walleye that fell for a jig. I brought some red worms with me, fished them on a drop shot set up on a ledge bank that I had caught a couple of gills on last week. It spent about an hour gill fishing and caught a dozen that were big enough to keep, including a couple of 9" bull gills. The rest were 7"-8". Took 10 home along with the walleye for the frying pan. No pics, forgot my camera, no exceptional bass anyway, but may have shown a gill pic had I brought the camera. I bet tomorrow will be a great day, south wind, water in the 60's. I'm not going, but if any of you can get out, go get them!
dtrs5kprs Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Good job QB, but what happened? Are you out of tubes? Really looks like the lake is on fire from end to end. We had some temps over 63-64 this evening, saw fish on beds, cruising, chasing bait in backs of pockets. And still some biting it a little deeper.
Quillback Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 The tube is in retirement until the water gets cold. I agree, the bite is on!
Nitro 750 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks for the report, really great info. Sounds like a great day that you had. Bluegill is fun to catch and good eating!!!! Thanks again for the report.

Well the fishing is so good now that even I can catch them. I've thought about picking up a box of Wheaties and doing some carp fishing, but I'd probably do it closer to home.

They nearly pulled us in the lake, those things can tear your tackle up! Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
