April May on Bull

[Fish24/7]

We fished a main creek arm from 9-4.. 8-9' vis. When it was calm we could see bass swimming around the boat in groups of 3-5.. Tried crappie,, nothing, tried whites, none. My third cast w/ a swimbait got bit by a  small  keeper largemouth.  a fast retrieve with the swimbait  to get their reaction .When the big shad would break surface around us , we got bites. Swimbait bite flat out died as it got to be afternoon and we switched to bottom baits the rest of the day .Lots of action from 13-14 1/2" lm. 6 small keepers . Threw everything back.

What kind of water temps were you seeing today? Wonder if this cold tonight will knock them back out a little.

don't know, no temp guage on his boat, didn't see any gills or minnows up shallow along the bank so I 'd guess 52-53

4/9 Buddy wanted to  fish Spring Creek from 12-5:30. Fished from the mouth at pt13 all the way to the back trying coves,points,channels,flats,bluffs ect. trying to find them. Fished 1'-50' deep.We caught 1 tiny spotted bass and 1 GIANT green sunfish on TRD worms the first few casts on pt13 then went hours w/o a bite. We tried just about everything I had in my tackle box. Even trolled cranks for an hour with no luck.  No carp jumping,no shad activity. Too quiet !! I don;t know Spring Ck, very well so we tried the typical textbook spots for pre spawn bass and crappie. Lake is several feet higher than the last time we fished there and  we caught some crappie and smallies that day.  Really could have used electronics to find them on a day like yesterday, especially if they were still running 8 units.

4/10  Just crappie fished around Theodosia today from 1-6pm. 55-57 degrees WT.  Tried every color and size combos of jigs,road runners, and soft plastics I owned. We each caught a baby largemouth and those were the only 2 bites I recall.. Drifted with live bait and tried it w/ bobbers, nothing to show for it.. Tried deep  and shallow and everywhere I saw fish on the screen. Brought my little Lowrance today off my boat. Trolled for a while and that didn;t produce either.Marked lots of fish in the upper water column over deeper water but they didn't want to play with us .Tomorrow is another day

Wow , i figured the Crappie would really be hot right now. Thought about coming down this weekend

Bass didn't seem to be biting much better than the crappie today. I have the kids with me, so didn't get a lot of fishing in, but just from messing around a couple hours, they weren't exactly jumping in the boat. I did have one 3.5-4 pound LMB on a big swimbait, on a point outside a spawning pocket, and a few hard hits without hookups on an Arig. Might go chase some smallmouth with Mr. Ned and the family tomorrow. I think that might be my best chance to get them on something that will bite.

we couldn't get them to bite , less generation may or may not have helped idk it was dropping hard today the  tops of a lot of the bushes were exposed and covered in damp green stinky moss. 663 ish by Friday. Most of the fish we saw on the screen were in the deeper 30-40' channel suspended and unfriendly to us. Somebody is catching them somewhere I'm sure.
