December 21, Big M area

The spotted bass were biting the Ned rig today.  It was like a spring bite.  Fish were near the banks, steep banks with chunky rock and trees were best, they were in the 10-20 foot zone.   There were some around brush piles too.

I caught 28 bass, 5 were keepers.  Biggest was a 16.5" smallmouth.  Lots of 13-14 inch spots.  Caught a keeper walleye and an 11" crappie that had the misfortune to be the next fish caught after the walleye, and with the walleye in the well, might as well throw the crappie in there.  

WT 50-51

Nice day Jeff. Got some vittles for your effort

Great outing.  We only had 22 with 3 keepers on the other end.  It looked like April at Cape.  There were about 10 rigs there when we arrived.  There were 21 when we left.

Dang @Dutch you are scaring me I was planning on going back Saturday..... only bright spot is they have screwed the Bridgeport launch so bad that it keeps many away at this 915 level......

That is a good day.  Quite a few boats running around on this end of the lake too.  Not as many as we see up there, but fairly busy.  Nice day to be fishing for December.
