Members RobinHood Posted April 8, 2015 Members Share Posted April 8, 2015 Been out to Springfield twice within the last few days, including today. Fished for a couple hours in the afternoon both times. Nada. I suppose it could be just bad timing on my part, I go fish when I can, but I couldn't believe it when I didn't even get a bite today. Seemed perfect. Throwing pretty much everything in my tackle box, plus nightcrawlers. Is anybody else frustrated, or am I just inept this year?

Members crappiekayaker Posted April 8, 2015 Members Share Posted April 8, 2015 Springfield can be tricky, now that there is so much pressure on the lake. I used to go out every night and catch a few but it seems like the fish have disappeared. I was out there Monday and seen a bunch of fish on my graph. They were all scattered about in front of the old boat ramp but I couldn't find a bite. I seen a few huge bait balls out there too. The Monday before last I managed two crappie but nothing more. I hadn't caught a crappie (of size) out there in about a year. I suggest getting a cheap kayak and heading to fellows. Fellows has been great to me this year, so far.

Members RobinHood Posted April 8, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2015 I suggest getting a cheap kayak and heading to fellows. Fellows has been great to me this year, so far. Can't afford a kayak, and even if I could, I don't have a place to store it or a way to haul it. I've tried fishing from various places on the shoreline at Fellows, but I haven't had any luck there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members usmcgrunt Posted April 9, 2015 Members Share Posted April 9, 2015 I went to Springfield lake yesterday by the old boat ramp and threw swimbaits all afternoon. I caught 2 small largemouth and saw a whole bunch of bass bruising Hookem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wxman33 Posted April 11, 2015 Members Share Posted April 11, 2015 Went out a week ago and all was quiet for about an hour and I threw everything, fished deep and shallow with no results. Then about 6:30pm, bass started bustin' shad in the shallows across from the boathouse. Caught a bunch of quality fish with only 1 dink. Caught on buzzbait, swimbait, and finally switched to a fluke since I missed a few on the faster baits. The frenzy lasted about 45 minutes then tailed off as the sun went down.

Members TheBeardedTay Posted April 12, 2015 Members Share Posted April 12, 2015 Went out from 930-1130 today, caught a nice largemouth, 14 in, over a pound on a Chatterbait. Had another bite and missed hookset right after. It's been slim pickins for the bank fishers so far. They get spooked real easy at this point and hide from the pressured areas fairly well. If you're able to trek a bit of the greenways and fish some of the northside of the lake, you may have better luck this time of year. They seem to be moving to find beds from what I've noticed.

Members Hookem Posted April 19, 2015 Members Share Posted April 19, 2015 By the old boat ramp, I assume you are talking about the one by the boathouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
