Fishing Report White River 5-24-16

[Hammer time]

Put in at 39 bridge at 6:15 to slick and 68.9 water. Started on mainlake pea gravel points with a spook and wp, fish jumping all over and around but no hookups. Changed to Super Spook and started hooking some. I think that the 3 hooks on Super Spook makes a big difference on hookup ratio. Jumped from point to point and caught mostly spots and a few brownies no blacks. Had 12 with 2 keeper spots.

At 8 changed over to 5/16 homemade brown/purple/red finesse jig on bluffs, and game on! For next two hours the dinner bell was ringing! Caught over 25 with 7 keeps all blacks. All post spawn fish except 1 still pre-spawn. Fish were on second drop in 15-18fow and just crushing the jig! Also caught 21in bonus eye on jig.

Switched back to pea gravel points with 5/8oz homemade brown/purple/red fb jig in 20-30fow and picked up several short spots. Periodically would see some schooling fish and had Zman 4" diesel minnow ready on deck, had a ball catching numbers of fish including the Rock slam "black,spot, brownie and meanmouth. Had over 30 and several times 3 or 4 in a row. Had 6 keeps on Zman.

Great day, loaded up at 1 as big storm was approaching.

Tight lines and CPR

Yes when the water temperature is above 65, below 65 I use a critter craw

Good stuff, Hammer. You owe me ... I was gonna go today (Tuesday) but decided to hold off until tomorrow. That'll shut em down.

Gotta love the Zman swimmers. One will last until you leave it in a tree.

Awesome report!  Thanks for the pictures of the baits.  It's awesome having a visual of what colors and set ups are being used.

Way To go Hammer, I believe those fish were on due to that front approaching, that's the way to get them when they are on a feeding binge as I assume they were, great day and congrats!!
