White River 3/17

[usa made outdoors]

Yesterday was just one of those days. My dad and I fished the middle part of the White and happened across a creek arm that was loaded with shad and bass. Put in just after daybreak water temp was 49.5 and pretty much stayed that way all day. Lots of surface activity early on and the baits of choice were a jerkbait and slab spoon. Fish finally started to slow down on those baits around mid-day so we picked up the small swimbaits and the rest was history. All in all we caught well over a hundred fish with a good portion of those being football K's also mixed in were some quality smallies and a fair amount of Largemouths. All species we're fat as could be and didn't look like they could eat one more bite without popping. Biggest two fish of day were 5lb 14oz and 6lb 2oz. Also had a couple of 4's and more 3+ than you can shake a stick at. Best 5 would've went for 23 and some change. All this action took place in a 300yd stretch that we never left. Truly one of those days you live for as a fisherman. Attached a few pics of some of the better fish.

You made one fatal mistake. The people on this forum are very good at figuring out where your at by the pics taken. I’m pretty sure you’ve given up the goods. One hell of a day though, you guys absolutely crushed it.

Nothing better than a good day fishing with your dad!  On the other hand, looks like  I made a serious mistake in  where I fished yesterday. Lots of shorts, little shad activity.  👍

So you're saying there are some professional spot poachers on here? Lol they are more than welcome to pull up to us and say thanks for the help we'll be in the white and maroon Nitro Z8. I suppose I could've been the guy who blurs the background but I figured someone would chirp about that too.

It's not so much the members as the lurkers. This post already has over 200 views but very few comments. Of course, these days, anyone who sees you catch a fish is likely to pull in right on top of you and start flinging. It's the way of the world.

I agree champ we did have one fella do that to us yesterday but he knew he was crowding and didn't hang around long.
