Dam Area Report (5/1 & 5/2)

[SplitG2]

Caught 22 Friday. 4-5 keepers. Larger fish in the morning and later afternoon. Only short brown ones under the high sun.

Majority on PB&J Ned. (1/8 better than smaller...thanks Dave). A couple on a Keitech swimbait. Lots of good followers on spinnerbait from dock shadows mid-day but no takers. Saw fish on beds in the back, but our fish came from 1/4 to 3/4 ways back in 10-15 FOW.

Caught 18 today. 7-8 keepers. A couple of good spots on the Ned this morning in Beardsley. Bro-in-law caught a 5 lb'r shallow with a TX rig worm after lunch. She was cruising, no visible bed nearby or any signs, on her, of spawning. A good mix of Spots, LM's and SM throughout the day. Best fishing seems to be on 45 degree gravel banks with spotty pole timber. Will post pics tomorrow.

Might flip a white spoon at those dock fish. Forces them to make a choice faster than the blade will.
