dtrs5kprs Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 First off...good grief this lake is full of bass. And they did not get the message about high skies being tough. Had the great pleasure of fishing with Bill Richey today. Thanks to the guys at Ma's for letting him out of there. Goal was to spend some time finesse fishing, especially the little rig. Got that done earlyand often. By the time he had to go in, we had 6-7 good keepers including a couple of solid blacks and an 18" brown girl. Probably 25ish with the shorts thrown in. Went back out and went exploring a bit. Found out they are all over gravel in most of the bigger creeks. Also still some on bigger rock with wood. Added several nice fat spots to the keeper side of things, with many squeakers and shorts. There is a big temp difference that seems based on water color. Several degrees. Came in briefly, and went back again from 4-6pm. Caught another mixed limit, a goggleye, and the real bonus...a crappie pushing 15". Every single fish was on the PBJ Ned Rig, 1/8oz. Mostly 5-15', but some deeper in the deeper creeks around timber. Fished 3 baits all day, left one in a tree, one in a fish, and the other is still hanging in. He definitely is worse for wear and tear. Would not hazard a guess at an overall number of bass. 50 would not come close. If you are struggling at all with the Ned feel free to PM me, or look Billy up. He is as down home as it gets, and a good stick who is on board with the super small and super slow stuff. Also good with the float & fly, and at flipping the white spoon. Some pics. The crappie is side by side with a keeper spot. She did not go to lake crisco.
Quillback Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 That is one big crappie! Happy to hear you guys did well.
OldMillRoad Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Only fished a couple hours this morning, but I had the same results. They were hungry for sure. Beds are everywhere, but the fish in the pockets seemed much more aggressive. Threw a wobblehead, live target craw crank, and the jerker. Everything caught fish.
dtrs5kprs Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 The swing head is still defeating me. May just put it up until June. Should really just throw the one deal tomorrow.

Bill Babler Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Sweet. Did you guys fish the floater any? http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
OldMillRoad Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Never threw any topwater, Bill. I will this morning....
fishingaddiction Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Definitely turning, more so in some coves. Is this really turnover, murky water coming down stream, or suspending algae? Is it affecting the catching? Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
