Quillback Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Another cold morning, still feels like winter out there at least early in the AM it does. We threw Keitechs and some of Dutch's home made paddle tails all morning. One of those days where you'd pick up one or two and then fish for another 15 minutes without a bite. I'd say most of our bites were in 5-10 feet of water, with a few deeper. We caught a couple dozen bass, mostly smallmouth, 5 of them were keeper sized. Dutch caught a fat spotted bass that we estimated to be at least 2.5 lbs. That was our biggest bass. Caught a couple of walleye and a 3 lb. striper. There was some top water striper activity early. Wind really started blowing around 9 AM, that made things a lot more challenging. MarkG52, FishnDave, bfishn and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 It was for sure cool this morning but still a great time. I got to meet another forum member today. Thanks for the trip Jeff. Johnsfolly, MarkG52, BilletHead and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still you guys were able to catch a few and that is always better than the alternatives of not catching any or not even going😉 Quillback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG52 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I enjoyed meeting you as well @Dutch. Y'all quit a little too soon. After y'all loaded up I went a ran a short distance and caught a couple of 2.5# brown fish. I certainly don't blame y'all for leaving though, wind was not fun! Here's one y'all missed out on.
