Ideal Weather Today: Mainly Bait Fishing Report

[MickinMO]

Down with the fam this weekend for some R&R. Fishing was pretty slow this morning. Jigs under floats, rooster tails, spoons, worms under floats, power bait off the bottom, night crawlers, etc, etc; we tried it all. Caught a few with best bite on gray/white rooster tail with silver blade and silver little cleos just below Cooper Creek. Caught a carp on a night crawler! Good fight on 2lb test for a 10 year old. Not much action really Short Creek down to Lilleys. After lunch they started running one+ unit and we headed for Monkey Island. Fishing turned on from 3-5pm. Caught mainly stockers, but hey; six people on the pontoon and everyone caught at least one fish and we had some doubles. Used lightest bottom rigs and orange/white power eggs best combo. Pink/white mousetails also saw success. Absolutely perfect weather to be on the lake today and time with family that hasn't been together in some time. Foilage is about a week from being perfect. Awesome time of year to be down here with the crisp mornings and pleasant afternoons.

@MickinMO sounds like a great time even if it was a bit slow on the fishing. Scenery looks fantastic. Can't  beat landing a bigger fish on that light line. Must have been an exciting fight.

Guys did good using white jigs just below Fall Creek yesterday morning.
