The Big M (And Kings) 12-26-2014

Started out by motoring up to the Kings, picked up a few spots in the Kings on the Ned off steep bluff type banks, not a real good bite, but a fish here and there.

Decided to work my way back towards Big M, fishing coves and main channel structure. Found some decent fishing, almost like a pre-spawn bite - picked some up in coves, gravel points, and windy banks, most were shallow, but there could be a bite anywhere from 5 to 20 FOW. Caught a few north of 20, with a few decent LM's, biggest was 3 lbs. and spots in the 13-15" range. It was a fun day, one of those days where I hated to leave.

All of them were on the Ned, except one jerk bait bass.

Water temps 46-48.

Thanks for the report, QB. Donna and I are gonna get after em in the morning. Planning on pretty much flinging the stick bait all day.

Can't get bit on the ned in the KC area. Caught a few Friday morning on a small swimbait and jerk bait. Based on having a few hours fishing this part of the lake, it's a lot better up river. Good report and pics as always.

is that a 3/16oz or 1/4oz ned head?

[Quillback]

1/8oz, and I also use 1/16 - depends on wind/depth which one I will throw.

Love the gravel. Convinced fish go there when they want to east, year round.
