Big Girls Showing Up

[WHARFRAT]

Went out for a couple hrs this afternoon. Took about an hour of frustration, but finally caught a few nice ones. Dropped down to a 32 oz jog head and a 2 1/2" slab buster, probably caught 10 overs. 4 were in the 13" range. All the fish looked like they might have over did it for thanksgiving. The bite was coming around 4-5' down. Seemed to like the slower drop. It's encouraging.

Pretty fish.

[fishinwrench]

Nice !!!

If they are like the whites I caught today they are prolly fat with eggs.

They are in about 4 foot of water also, right on the bank. Rocks with No Docks. No boat required.

I think with the warm(er) inflows, this coming week is gonna be a blast !

[Ham]

Goodness Gracious ! That looks like fun.

[WHARFRAT]

Might give them whites a shot tomorrow afternoon. You still using the sassy shad?

Hello fishing trip!

[fishinwrench]

I'm alternating between a Sassy shad and a 3" Larew Long John minnow. Same 1/8oz. head.

Trying to decide which they like best. It seems to be a draw.

I have a lot of things I like to throw at White Bass, but baits with one hook are a lot safer for the fish and the fisherman.

Evr fool around with Road Runners FW?

[fishinwrench]

No I don't Fool Around with Roadrunners... I get plum Serious about them (should own stock)

The original Blakemore heads with a Southern pro CT grub accounts for darn near every crappie I eat.

As for the whites I usually flyfish for them but here lately I just can't get them to eat a fly. They are triggered by a steady retrieve with no pauses or twitches and I think the pause between strips (when flyfishing) is a bite killer right now. They are following it for 10-30 feet before striking, and if the bait does anything even mildly out of the ordinary they turn away. Very "un-whitelike" if you ask me, but whatever. LOL

As much as I'd rather be catching them on the fly it just isn't the right tool for the job now.

I have been having also good success on the whites with the rr heads and slider grubs as well as on suspending jerk baits; same places wrench mentioned with a bit of wind on them. Lots of fun.
