Jim Elam Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Sunday afternoon: Fished out of Baxter 1230p to 6p Sunday. Fish came in 3s and 4s, lots of unproductive time in between catching. Worked a wart hard in the creek mouth and mid creek on chunk rock banks with and without wood but I must not have the touch, nada. Finally started throwing the Ned in PBJ and catching, but most were shorts. Moved to main lake bluff ends and points and started catching a few keepers mainly on A rig. Fish were suspended in 40-50 ft off of the bluffs and bluff ends and had lots of fun trying to intercept then as they would crash bait balls near the surface with some success. 11 total 4 keepers, nothing over 3 lbs. Did see a guy and his kid with a 5 lb 9 oz LM that was fat and sassy. Watched him catch it near point 20 while fishing a bait ball that the gulls were going crazy over. Was his PB LM and was caught on a cranker. Today: 8 yr old and I got a shot to get away a few hrs this afternoon. Put in at Long Creek, was a muddy mess, went to the dam area to find clear water. Temps 53-54 everywhere. Found fish on bluff ends, Only fished from 230 to 415, 1 keeper K and a chunky 3 lb 9 oz SM. Both came on PBJ Ned. Didn't really get a chance to work a pattern. My son was the focus of today's trip, and when he pulled in the SM he informed me that we were done fishing an he needed to drive the boat a while... That hurt a little, but I took one for the team?

dtrs5kprs Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Nice brown girl, and one happy kiddo. Sometimes you should in fact quit while you are ahead.
Guest Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 That moment when they catch a big brown bass & want to leave
Quillback Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Always good to see the young'uns get a fish. Congrats!
