Campbell point

We got here and got setup...left the camper about 5 and fished a spot where we’ve done good with a jig in the past...and no joy.  So that’s a bummer.  I haven’t gave up catching them on a jig...but they weren’t on our best spot.  But we might have been too early and probably too shallow.  The boat was in 16 or so casting in front of the bushes.  The fish were probably under the boat 

so we went to a drop shot spot...about 7...and caught 10 or 12 between us.  A couple keepers but most were 13 Or 14

we we’re fishing anywhere from 17 to 25 feet with the drop shot.  Watermelon chart tail finesse worm

water is 89 degrees 

We ended up doing ok...about 530 or 6 I was hot...and no fish.  Probably wait a little later tomorrow to go

We slept in til 8 but managed one good one on a jig...a skinny 20 incher in the bushes. 

some drop shot short kys...but no keepers

its hot out...we probably won’t leave the camper til 7 tonight

We waited til 6 or so.  It is still really hot in the sun at 6pm

Jake caught one nice one on a jig...and i had another get off at the boat.  Probably worst hook set ever...I thought I lost it early...and then it jumped a couple times at the boat and spit the hook.  Looked to be a good one.  

I caught one good one on a spinner bait...then Jake drop shotted  4 or 5 before coming in at dark.

im trying to catch some on a keitech but I haven’t done it yet...not sure what I’m doing wrong

now..just watching the fire burn

You guys are getting some nice fish!

[fshndoug]

Thanks...we’re having fun...but boy it’s hot.

We woke up at 6 today and tried a couple different spots.  We stunk it up...I finally caught one on a keitech...out of a cedar tree

I don’t like driving the boat at night...can’t see very good

I always have a tough time in the day on full moon nights, but I think you all did great !

We’re still catching them fairly well...whew...it’s hot...but the beer is ice cold

same baits...jig and a drop shot

mostly largemouths on the jig...and kys on the drop shot

no goggle eye yet...but we aren’t using crawlers.  
 

I had troller on anchor last night and I caught 4 or 5 in a row...and back of boat must’ve been over the brush...cuz Jake got hung up every time he dropped.  He said to take it off anchor...I said don’t leave fish to find fish....pretty fun

we slept in til 8 again this morning but managed a couple nice ones on a bluff bank

[fshndoug]

nice bass

 

[wily]

Little bit of everything today...a dink white bass, keeper walleye, 24 inch channel cat...and quite a few bass and bluegill...not a lot of keeper bass today..mostly 12 to 13 inchers 

wind blew a little today...So temp wasn’t too bad.  We slept in til 10...

caught a couple on a keitech...Jake said it’s a bait of a thousand casts...but I don’t think it’s that bad...but close

same thing main lake gravel between 17 and 25 feet...meathead or finesse worm working best drop shot style...no goggle eye

we doubled on the walleye and small ky
