Bass Must Be Biting

[jolicious]

I am not a good fisherman, and I caught 6 Saturday. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they must be eating lol!

1. Beaver Shores in 5' from some flooded brush on a yellow square bill. this was around 9:45 Saturday morning (4-21-18). This particular girl was awfully white - not sure if that's because of the muddy water (it's awfully muddy around that part of the lake) or if she'd just come up from the deeper water. My hand help scale put her around 2.5 pounds, of course that's an uncertified scale. 15" spot.

2. Ford's Creek in 5' in front of flooded brush PB&J 3/8 jig 2:03pm - 13" spot

3. Ford's Creek 20' along the channel - red/orange Storm Deep diving crankbait (can't remember exact name - it's the one with the funky line tie that has a gap in the lip)  2:34pm -13" spot

4. Ford's Creek 5' out in front of flooded brush PB&J colored lizard on a wobble head - 3:12pm - 16" spot

5. Ford's Creek same deep diving crankbait between trees in 20' of water (I am starting to understand why folks like deep diving crankbaits)3:48pm 13" spot

6. Ford's Creek in front of flooded brush about 5' water 4:21pm 14" (maybe could've coaxed him to 15") smallie

 

That's all I know.

Seriously, I am not a good angler - if I can catch 6, most of the folks on here can likely catch 20.

Water temps in Beaver Shores were 56-67 if I remember correctly and 52-54 in Ford's Creek.

The times seem very exact because I looked at the time stamps of pictures (I try to send pictures to my 9 year old princess no matter the size) taken Saturday.

Tight lines everyone, go have some fun while they are eating!

Joe.

Thanks for the report, there's been many a day on Beaver where I would've been happy catching 6 bass.

Probably going out tomorrow, thinking about trying the Clifty arms for a change of scenery.

I probably caught 7-8 myself Jo. I was fishing that big bass tournament. Didn’t catch anything over 2.5lbs. So no need to weigh them in. It was a tough day. I wouldn’t feel bad about 6 fish.

I switched my focus to crappie, year. Learned to spyder rig.

I don't have anymore zero fish days & work half as hard catching twice as many. 

On average, the crappie are bigger than the bass & 5 times more plentiful & much easier to catch. IMO

Good job joe.  Tear them up.
