dtrs5kprs Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Only things that have changed since we got here on 4/26 are the weather, and the pool. Think most folks know what we do, how we do it, and generally where. Although we get around quite a bit more than many would expect. We're fishing finesse on gravel, including main lake places, specifically with the Ned. Also catching some dragging the doctor or a fry. Water color hasn't mattered a bit. Same for snot, wind, or water color. We've caught very few fish deeper than 10', not for lack of looking. Started getting a topwater bite Sunday, but my guess is the cold weather will hurt it. Lot of them were slapping at it more than eating it. Spawn coves, pole timber points, and guts on that bite. Obviously better with shad everywhere. It seemed to pop at 64 degrees (on our graph, anyway). Waking baits have been better than wakers. Catching all four species on the same stuff, same baits. Plus a few big whites on topwater. Catching a lot of blacks, and a lot of solid K's, which is a little different. m&m, Dock-in-it, Royal Blue and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vernon Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Thanks Dave - that’s good stuff! Sorry to have thrown (cold) water on you guys’ party! And frost too for that matter..... Hope they keep biting cause we brought lots of hand warmers! dtrs5kprs, mixermarkb, magicwormman and 1 other 4 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

Quillback Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Way to go guys! Hearing some good reports from the area I fish too. Once this weather gets back to a place that my delicate constitution can handle, I am going to give them a shot.

willyfish Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Your report is basically what we are doing to Dave. Top water is hit or miss on a spook. Been catching a couple with a wacky rigged senko and a lizard. We fished till dark in Little Aunts last night. Bunch of blow ups on top with a spook and caught a few on a white spinnerbait in the rain. A couple 17-18 inch spots that bent the hell out the wire, smashed it. Windy today, seems like a stickbait kind of deal. We are debating whether to go left or right at point 9 . dtrs5kprs and Quillback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Babler Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I'm tickled, glad you all just got all over them. dtrs5kprs and mixermarkb 2 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Just realized my phone changed "walking" to "waking". We're throwing the 12 size Storm Arashi Top Walker, and a Vixen. Won't eat a fin or not-fin, for whatever reason. mixermarkb and magicwormman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to stop at F&F too, but got short on time. Had to get to Lampe for some Fillin' Station take out. wily and magicwormman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wily Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Sounds like area 71 close to Campbell point...food is pretty awesome. You’ll have an experience in beef when you eat their hamburgers after a long day fishing. It’ll knock you out dtrs5kprs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
