First Post- Dam Area

[SupremeJCK]

Hello everyone. Im Connor, the younger brother of abkeenan. Brett usually takes care of our fishing report but he was not able to make it down for the 4th this year so I figured this was a good time to introduce myself and make my first post.

Started off in the mornings around 6:30 am on our usual main lake point topwater spot. Right off the bat LM were coming up and chasing shad. It seemed the best way to get a bite was to wait and put your bait in the middle of the chase. Most of my fish were caught on an Evergreen SB but im sure they would of hit on whatever you prefer. The topwater bite seemed to shut off around 9am so we moved to some docks. I picked up one more nice SM on a Nutech Grass Jig before heading in with the boat traffic picking up.

For the night fishing, it is in full swing like Bo said. I got out once from midnight to 1:00am and fished a row of docks in Beardsley and ended up with 2 solid LM, also on the Nutech. My uncle was with me and caught a couple K and SM on a brown worm.

Thank you to everyone who shares info and here are some pics from my trip

@SupremeJCK very nice report and photos! They should let you go solo more often. Congrats on some nice fish!

I like your report better. Brett speaks with forked tongue. Or types with forked fingers. 😝

 Great job rounding some up during what can be a hard time of year.

You can tell that he has learned from his brother on how to take pictures that do not show the locations of the secret dock, or the secret brush pile.

Have you started throwing some big baits yet?

i was glad to see some largemouth.  they just seem to be scarce in the dam area.  places that have produced largemouth for me over the years just seem to have only brownies and kentuckies.  but, there is nothing wrong with catching a bunch of 3 lb. brownies for sure.

Connor, thanks for the information and great pictures. Are you now in charge of the fee jar on the dock with the green roof?
