Rickf Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Water temp. 45, fish at 35' over 60' feet of water tons of fish to be caught. Indian Point area. Fun stuff. Quillback and jolicious 2
Champ188 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Those are a couple of hammers, Rick. Everyone seems to love the brown ones and the green ones, and I have nothing against either species. But those spots are my favorite fish.
dtrs5kprs Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Nice K's. Love it when they get bunched up like that.
rps Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I admit, I love a mature spot. They are NOT large mouth or small mouth. In the early 70's, when the wife still went out with me, she hooked and landed a spot very close to 5 pounds. She did a great job, but that fish was all anyone could handle.

In the early 70's, when the wife still went out with me, she hooked and landed a spot very close to 5 pounds. She did a great job, but that fish was all anyone could handle. Back in the early 1980s, I did a story as a very young outdoors writer for the old Arkansas Gazette on winter fishing on Bull Shoals. Was fortunate to be guided for two days by Jim Nolan, the former head of PR for Ranger Boats and a successful Bassmaster Tournament Trail angler. Great guy and a really good hand at deep fishing. He had a warm-water spring that was 70 feet deep in one of the main feeder creeks. Dang if I remember which one, but it might have been one of the Sister creeks. Anyway, while we were dropping 1/8-ounce brown hair jigs to these fish, which were congregated practically on the bottom, I caught a spot that weighed 4-15. It was a tussle like I'd never experienced on 4-pound line and a medium-light spinning rod. Spotted bass have held a special place with me ever since that day. Dewayne French 1

Quillback Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Nice ones! Light tackle and spots are made for each other.
Members Jozark Posted January 30, 2015 Members Posted January 30, 2015 I think the spotted bass is underated, for it is a great fighter, very aggressive and a beautiful looking fish. My goal is to catch one over 5lbs on the Rock. I know probably a steep goal, but going to keep trying.
