Its tough

[willyfish]

Went up the James yesterday and caught some little bucks, senko and swimbait. Water has a lot of color up there and didn't see any slime. Fished in Kimberling today, swimbait and ned. Caught a giant black crappie and had some flash on a fluke but they didn't eat it. Lots of slime floating up to the surface in Fisher. The spawn is tough. I think you gotta drag something right now its tough for me.

Definitely not fishing the way it sometimes does. Expecting them to pop next week, if the weekend is warm.

By that he's talking about the sound of lightning and thunder popping 😀 caught some today on a 1/16 Ned shallow. Schooner has slime but if you wanna fight it there are fish to be had. Every pocket or cove you go into 3 boats are coming out, its nuts out there today. Majority are running to the back and 20 minutes later they come flying out. Cardinal game starts at 1 I may have a cocktail instead of fighting it. Good luck if you go

Naturally, I have to partially blame Johnny Moneybags for bringing so much national attention to the lake with his big palooza derbies. The fishery is holding up well so far, but it can't weather the kind of pressure it's getting forever. What will Johnny do then? Probably throw up a new mega-complex overlooking Bull Shoals and start ruining that lake, too.

There are no fish in Schooner Creek. Clearly you must be mistaking it for Aunt's or Clevenger.

I know your kidding but Aunts has never been good for me. Was good 20+ years ago but now I would just keep heading up the James .
