Members Coach_Beck Posted May 12, 2016 Members Share Posted May 12, 2016 Went out for a couple hours around Cape Fair. Didnt go very far, I was blind as far electronics so I kept to locations I felt comfortable with boating around in. Not being able to locate fish made it a little difficult. Landed 2 fish in couple hours. LM came on a grub around a dock, had another decent get hooked then shake it out close to the boat. Switched to a swimbait just to see and cover some ground ended up hooking a beautiful cat. Hit HARD!!! fought for a good 10/15min..it was only about 2/3 FOW...I didn't weigh but I believe it was every bit of 8-10#s Didn't slay them but for the time and limitations I was happy mixermarkb and Quillback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesemaster Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thanks for the report. Cape Fair is the area that I fish the most. There is a lot of good fishing in that river. With no electronics you probably don't know the water temp do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coach_Beck Posted May 12, 2016 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2016 I always say I am going to try other parts of the lake but when I get an opportunity to go I usually end up there because I can get unloaded and fishing my first spot within an hour of leaving the house. I wish I could have known the water temp to share but you are right without the electronics I do not. It was a peaceful evening regardless...love the Ozarks!
