Quillback Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Tough morning, 4 bass total, 2 on a top water, 2 on a c-rig craw. Snapped off my $12 Spy bait on a cast and watched it disappear into the sunrise, so right off the bat I was without my #1 bait from my last trip. Talked to a retired fisherman who was out there stalking the elusive bass and he had caught a few more than me on jigs and spoons. Supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow, maybe some precipitation will motivate the bass. If not, I may have to get some crickets and fish for bluegill. Or take up golf...
merc1997 Bo Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 quill you might have run into one of my retired buddies that live in emerald beach. i am thinking it might have been knickmeyer. older champ with 150 yammie. he had mentioned he might get out this morning. i did get out monday night, but put in at cow creek, and found fishing to be a bit better down there. wish we had all those brownies up here. we ended up with 6 keeps. four being brownies, and two largemouth. one of the lmg was around 3, and the biggest brownie was an easy 3 1/2. best depth?? good guess. we caught bass from 15 to 30 ft. best lures were senko type and jigs. bo
Quillback Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 Love those big brownies, 3.5 lber fights like a 6 lb. LM.
fishingaddiction Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Better go buy you some more spin bait's (spy bait) Quill. Hook Line and Sinker had a good selection last time I was in there. Thanks for the report. Fall can't get here soon enough for me. Merc: Appreciate the info about Cow Creek area. What technique were you using for the Senko's? Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
Quillback Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks fishingadd, didn't know HLS carried them. I with you on fall not coming soon enough.
merc1997 Bo Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Love those big brownies, 3.5 lber fights like a 6 lb. LM. we had them rigged on a 1/4 NuJig and a 1/4 bullet weight on the line. this is a better set up than t-rigging. much more snag proof, and much better hook ups. bo
Champ188 Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks fishingadd, didn't know HLS carried them. I with you on fall not coming soon enough. They only have them in Rogers. None at the Bella Vista store so don't go up there trying to buy them all out. I wouldn't lie to you. I promise.

Champ188 Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 What, you beat me to them? LOL, nope. I have one. Might buy a couple more the next week or two but not in any hurry. Donna and I are actually gonna fish Saturday instead of play golf but I think we're going to Grand. I have a little bite going on over there that's pretty fun.
