4-13-16 Bull Shoals

[Fish24/7]

658.72

First cast was around 8:30. Slow start, but  then I found a few schools of kentuckies willing to eat the finesse worm on a ds. Caught about 3 dozen. There were 17 keepers in the bunch that were 12-14" long and all were  released. Played with them for a while before taking a lunch break. Went back out about 1:30. Caught dozens of perch with a new D-Shock ultralight combo. They love micro jigs tipped with power bait.

 Found some crappie too with 1/8oz grubs.

 

 Got enough for supper so I ran across the lake and began slow cranking a deep diving jerkbait. This time it was all largemouth. Had 9 bites landed 8 of them. Six were keepers. She was the biggest....the other keepers were 3lb class, all released.

 Tried to run a pattern in close proximity but the spot I caught those largemouth from was by a specific kind of bank. There wasn't another one like it nearby so with just a couple hours of daylight left and wanting to stay close to home I went back to perch fishing. There's a hatch going on and the action is as good as it gets imo.

Crummy time for me to decide to fish a tournament
