5/29/14 Bsl Fishing Report Leadhill

[Ham]

I fished with Cajunangler yesterday out of Leadhill. We fished from 0745 until 2015. We had heavy clouds and light wind. A little rain off and on. Clouds got thin at times and thicker at times, but we always had some clouds.

Water was very clear in the main lake and pretty clear in the creeks. Water temps were always around 75.5'

We saw a handful of boats throughout the day, but no one ever crowded us or was really very close at all. I love the separation that BSL affords you.

Fishing is very good right now. Lots of quality fish and lots of smaller fish growing up behind them. The spawn this year although it was delayed should be excellent again. I hope people don't take this for granted.

We had good fish on topwaters, tubes, and the Ned. We had hits on swimbaits, but caught zero on it. I tried the spybait from time to time. I caught a panfish on it and lost a nice chunky bass on it. I also had a smallie on it briefly. I did not land a bass with it. It gets bit EVERYTIME I fish it, but I AM NOT catching fish on it.

There are some fish everywhere, but I expect patterns and locations are changing daily. To be successful, pay attention to the fish you catch. Repeat what's working and fish areas similar to the areas where you are catching your fish. Sounds easy right.

We ended up with just under 120 fish caught. Over 110 of them were bass. We had a couple of walleye. A couple of panfish. Cajunangler caught a Logperch ! We had multiple > 17 inch smallies on Topwater and a lot of quality smallies on the Ned. I was shocked that the majority of our fish were smallies.

Another great day in the boat with Cajunangler. He's a good stick.

Have been wondering about going to number 6 hooks on the duo bait. Might just be asking too much of those little trebles. Then again, if they will eat the Ned, who cares?

[Ham]

It's proabably a little early for the spy bait to shine. I'm convinced it's gonna work and I'm trying it for a little whie each time I go.

The panfish (crappie, bluegill, Long Ears) are thumping it. The bass just load on it. There's not much of a bite, just extra weight.

I'm interested in seeing what the walleye bite and white bass bites are like on it.

Most def. The Ned is still working. Still kicking butt and taking names. And Longnose Gar and Log Perch to the fish that can be caught on it.

Real nice quality fish yesterday (I got the date wrong ). The tube got some real nice fish as well. You can just throw a tube if you want. You'll have about 20% of the total caught on the Ned. but you'd have a much larger average size fish.

22 inch Ned rig walleye

Will be neat to see how far down your species challenge the little rig will get you. Gar had to be interesting.

Think the big whites at TR will eat the spybait to pieces, if they ever start going. Should be soon.

I'll have to wait to hear from Quillback on TR and the spy bait. TR is TOO FAR for me to trailer for on a day trip. IF I do a multiday trip that direction, I insist on Stockton.

I'm at 24 species for the year so far. I've caught 11 species on the Ned Rig so far this year and saw a couple more caught sooo...

[Quillback]

Good deal Ham, you guys whacked them! I haven't thrown that spy bait yet, kinda forgot about it. I'll have to get it tied on.

I started the first of three weeks with no days off last Sunday.

I hate you guys.

Enjoy that topwater bite while it's there. Hopefully I can still catch a few when I get back down June 16th-
