Bigmo Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 After reading Bill Bablers post and Bill saying to get out there and hammer them I did. I got out there from 2 to 4:30 but I didn't hammer the big ones. It was windy. Water temp had gone up to 54.6 since last Fridays 50.8. I hit several transition banks and caught the two keepers on a school bus magnum wart. Overall the mag wart caught 8, swim bait on a 1/4 oz. head caught 6, mouse spinner 6 and that heavy dang a rig got me 9 and not a keeper on the a rig. Every non keeper was a big ole fat 14 3/4 Kentucky. Muddy Water, magicwormman, cheesemaster and 2 others 5
Champ188 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Quote Twenty-nine in 2.5 hours is a fish every 5 minutes. That's flat getting with it.
176champion Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Wow great day indeed. I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything! Bruce Philips
Bigmo Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 On one transition bank I had at least 9 in a row. Every fish was in 8 foot or less. They hit the a rig as soon as it hit the water. You'd think that big ole thing would have scared them when it made that big splash. On the cast I didn't catch anything something hit the lures sideways almost every time. Big difference 4 degrees makes. I caught maybe one fish on those type banks all last week.
Quillback Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Great day! Nothing wrong with catching 14.5 inch spots as long as you're not trying to win a tourney and you don't over power them with too heavy tackle. Give me 30 day, and I will be very happy. big c 1
dtrs5kprs Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 And we have our once a year mag wart sighting. Surprised more folks don't throw that animal.
Bigmo Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 My buddy throws the mag wart this time of the year and catches bigger fish than the original. It throws a mile and I'd rather fish it than the Rock crawler. Today i threw the school bus color but the red with yellow bottom and the spring craw color are just as good. dtrs5kprs 1
edyer Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 First time I have seen the Mag Wart used here. I have a bunch and use them in Michigan for big smallmouths, but have had my best luck on Table Rock with the Fire Tiger Mag on Windy, deeper points. These reports are getting me revved up to get down there!
Steve McBasser Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Dang guys.....you're killin' me. I still have 11 more days of work before I get a day off to go. Can't wait!!!
