Quillback Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Mandatory meanmouth pic. Fish were really biting today, I waited until 1100 AM for the storms to pass through a set a deadline of 5 PM for leaving as they were predicting storms and did not want to get caught in one. In between, caught over 35 bass, even split between a 3/8 oz Bagely's Balsa shad and the PBJ Ned. Didn't fish too many places as they were stacked one I found them. A bluff end, couple of pockets on the sides of gravel points, the gravel points, and a few working buck brush banks. Pretty much stayed in the green water, and shallow 3-6 feet deep. Mostly 14-15 inch spots, a couple of smallies, means and a few largies. No monsters, biggest was a 3 lb. LM on a Menace grub, the only Menace grub fish and the last fish of the day. Don't think it mattered a lot today what lures to use, I think any reasonable springtime type bait would have caught fish, they were just biting. Water temps were 58-60. I don't think the males are making beds yet, but they are in there taking measurements. Macsimus, Sac River Jim and Muddy Water 3
Guest Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 That's a good report. Is the Bagley a new model crank?
Quillback Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Just came out this year I believe. Kind of like a Shad Rap, but a bit heavier in a comparable length. Shad Rap probably would have worked just as well today.
J-Doc Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 In there taking measurements he says!! Lol!! Now that's funny. Sounds like a great trip. Must be wonderful to be able to fish so frequently during the week. I'm jealous! Muddy Water 1 Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
Alex Heitman Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Great report and awesome day. You are a mean mouth machine. I too had great success today. I fished from dam to KC area and caught around 50. They were eating so good today. Rock Crawler, A rig, and spinnerbait was the players for me. All shallow in 10 ft or less like you said. I even went way up long creek at 5:00 and caught some crappie for dinner! It was a great day!
Members Whit Warriors Posted April 3, 2015 Members Posted April 3, 2015 QB Your report is spot on! We fished today and boated over 30 fish with 15 keepers. A real nice mean mouth!! Another decent one! The fishing was on fire! Best bait - wiggle wart!!! Muddy Water 1
