dtrs5kprs Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Not sure any of this matters, given the impending condition, if not climate, change occurring. Fish were tougher yesterday, but still catchable. Found the wind useless, blowing down banks, not on them. Ended up with 8 keepers, two on a big shakey head. Those were deeper K's that did not look like they had been near a bank yet. Rest were all Ned fish. Had to be super slow, light bite. Best 5 wouldn't have had any shorter than 16" and change. Saw a lot of beds, many with males in them. Behaving pretty aggressively. If you put Ned in the bed, it was almost automatic. Today was damp. Managed a mixed 4 & 1/2 hrs, in between dock sessions. Lightning tracker was lit up, but never really saw any. Safe vs sorry, though. Had 10 keepers in that broken up span. Best two were a 19" and an 18" smallmouth. Would have needed to be over 17" to ride the ride today. All were on the little guy. The 1/8 ounce is just killing the lighter head now, even on the fall around docks. Don't get in a hurry to avoid the rock snot. Fish are right in it. A nice random crappie. Mr. Houx, Champ188, motoman and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SplitG2 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Thanks for the report. The tail on the LM looks pretty raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fish was in 12'-13' of water around absolutely nothing significant. Amazing where they will bed. mixermarkb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe just more coming in. If the bolts will quit, the next two days should be stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macsimus Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Currently watching a bassboat with two fishermen fishing across from Cow Creek with pouring down rain and lightning all around. Insane.
